Fastboot freezes when plugged into computer

[dark_samus]

Hi I bought a used nexus 7 on ebay I have everything running the way I want it to except I can't boot into recovery from fastboot as it automatically freezes when I plug in my mini USB which could be bad if I ever have a soft brick and need to restore via recovery because I can't get it to fastboot. I've tried to hit recovery and then quickly plug it in but no matter how fast I plug it in it just stays at the Google screen. I can confirm that recovery works as I'm running a cm10 nightly right now and it's working great I used terminal emulator and ROM manager to boot into recovery and it worked great just curious to see if anyone else is having this problem and possibly can tell me what's causing it/how to fix it
