after it happens the usb lockup, did you check windows logs in the event viewer? (right click on computer > manage, then event viewer > windows logs from side panel) it should show some messages related to whats happening with the usb stick
Thats the first place i checked
USB transfers are working normally under safe mode (im on safe mode right now, Its all working fine)
Hopefully now with a way to make it work, We can work backwards to figure out whats stopping it, a "clean boot" does not work
thats a good sign, try looking at your startup and see what been added recently, and disable/remove those, something there is probably the culprit
hijackthis log would be of some help as well, you can post the results of the scan here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/Found event viewer pegging out with this 2-4 times each time i insert a flashdrive:

The above event log is pretty much saying something along the lines of my Bitdefender AV not being able to interact properly with "\Device\CdRom0" but even when AV is disabled it appears
