Have you tried your usb stick in another PC? My friend has the same experience, but he got worse. His usb stick got an electric shock when he used it in other PC. It's totally damaged now. It seems the memory chip was burnt. It's better you try it in other computer first, if the same thing happen try to check the memory chip.
This could happen if you plug the usb stick improperly.
