Could be as well the USB connection or the USB drivers and chipset drivers especially if you have non Intel chip motherboard with VIA or SIS chipset . The USB interupt is usually shared so a graphic driver update could also help..... If the scanner hangs on a nonactive/active USB hub, I would try to connect it directly to the motherboard USB connectors on the backside of the case. A test with vuescan would show if the scanner software itself is faulty.

Ever since I got rid of my early DiMage Scan Dual Something because of SCSI connection, I am out of scanner for two long years. I need something decent and leaning toward Nikon but due to the low amount of scan I do these days, I hesitate to spend too much money for it. Scan Dual IV still shows up new on eBay from time to time and I am awfully tempted. Re your crash/hang problem, I seem to remember I had similar problem before but thought it was gone when I switched to VueScan but not sure if it was the cure.
