Outdated software drivers on your computer can cause strange behaviors when syncing the computer with your iPhone or iPod touch.

Isolate the issue to see if there is a USB conflict by disconnecting other USB devices connected to the computer such as a printer, digital camera, scanner, etc.
the BSOD information would be a big help too if you have such.........
