  1. My PC USB Ports are power cycling


    My PC has been losing the ability to use its USB ports, randomly. Sometimes this happens whilst on a game or not. The wifi goes out, as it is an external USB. The mouse, microphone, and keyboard also stop working. The computer stays on the entire time. I have removed the ability for the ports to be shut off for power saving, I have also fully updated all drivers. I am operating on Windows 11, this issue persisted in Windows 10 as well. I am running a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060, this has not been an issue in the past and started roughly a month ago. I cannot tell if there is a trigger to this event

    Power Surge on the USB port?

    Hi Bob,

    When a user tried uninstalling the USB drivers, it usually installs itself again when the computer restarts. It is a fact that most of the Mouse and Keyboard nowadays are connected using USB connection instead of their traditional PS/2 port. We suggest that
    you visit the link provided and follow the steps provided:
    USB has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of it's hub Port , you should disconnect the device


    Kindly let us know if you need further assistance.
