what happens when you plug the Printer back into the computer once its turned on and booted into windows? Shutdown? If so, check even viewer for the reason it shut down...

Are you plugging it into the front USB Ports? If so, check these ports are not damaged, as this can cause shorts on the motherboard.

Bit more info required

Regards
