It sounds similar as, though perhaps not exactly the same as:

Unfortunately, no progress has been made on fixing it, and I'm still
experiencing the problem with oi151a7, and nVidia driver 304.51.  I was
able to reduce the frequency of its occurrence by turning off (in the BIOS)
as many USB ports as possible which shared the same interrupt as the
nVidia card.
