Product: hp 250 g3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi, I have a very odd issue on my new "hp 250 g3" notebook, and since it occurred again AFTER TWO FORMATS AND REINSTALLATIONS of WIN 7, I am beginning to think that it could be related to my hardware rather than to my software. Anyway, here's it: sometimes, when I unplug a usb pen-drive from my laptop using the safe removal, the usb icon permanently shows in the tray, and becomes unclickable; if I open the task manager, the rundll32.exe process is stuck, and I have to end it in order for the usb tray icon to finally disappear. I am sure it is no virus, and all the solutions I tried in the last months had no success; hence, I decided to reinstall, but, indeed, the problem occurred again... Any idea about what the hell could cause this issue? Thanks in advance! 😛
