I hit something of a perfect storm with my blue yeti and my dell laptop
my yeti died fairly quickly. I tried a few usb cables and got lucky. Not sure if there is such a thing as a shielded usb cable but that might help. I suspect the long usb cable they ship with, while admirable in design... i'm not sure its up to the task in practice. Maybe 6 feet in length is stretching it for a usb cable.
What complicated matters was a mic that sometimes would work and sometimes would not. After alot of googling, i learned the dell laptop i owned had some audio bug / glitch with sound over usb. Probably 95% of people would never notice except when you try to hook up a usb microphone to it. To my knowledge it was never resolved.
