Did you load software first or just plug it in? Is that what you are
supposed to do per the manufacturer? Some products tell you to
install the drivers / software from a supplied CD first, then connect
the hardware.

A crash could be a severe overload on the USB root Hub.
Is the Wireless adapter a USB 1(.1) or USB 2.0 device ?
If it is a USB1(.1) device try to insert it into a different socket
on the PC. ( Or alternately remove other USB peripherals to
lessen the load on the controller/hub )
