Computer Died when I plugged in iPhone

    Asus laptop died after I plugged in iPhone 4 (which has started to turn off randomly). I've ran clean-ups, Spybot and Malwarebytes and nothing came up.

    Laptop is only 3 months old.

    The keyword in the Event Viewer is 0x80000000000000


    Does anybody know why this happened?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    You plugged a malfunctioning phone into your laptop.

    That article directs the user to use "RegCurePro" as the fix to the error.

    I wouldn't put that piece of malware on my system if I was paid to...

    Be very careful here OP, and if you did happen to install it, run a scan with Malwarebytes to remove it...........

    Just to add, some people I know (some of them techies), like this program. Personally, I think it's a bit dodgy, hence the warning...

    Sounds like a short in your cable. This has the effect if creating a short circuit in your USB. get a new cable
