Default external usb HDD crashes Windows

It was supposed to be a good external HDD.
after not using it for a while i connected it to two different PCs and
first it is recognized and then screen goes black.

both XP pro, one SP2 and the other SP3.

If I leave it connected then the PC attempts to restart and crashes
again.
both PCs same deal. tried a different PSU and a different USB cable,
same.
Do not have a another enclosure, but am ordering one. It's a WD
5000AAKS
not good
