Take the thumb drive back to where you bought your laptop along with your receipt and get it replaced.

Is this the same system that you are having trouble with from your post here, or a different machine?
 
If they are different systems, you may have a problem with your power at home.
 
Take Cormac's good suggestion, but have the folks at the store test the computer with the thumb drive. If it works there, I would make sure that you have your computers connected to a seperate curcuit in the house from the TV.
 
Make sure that you watch them test the laptop.
