Windows 10: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned"

Could this be a near-death keyboard, or bad drivers? My Razer Deathstalker is nearly 6 years old since purchase, and only a week ago it started shutting down (mostly on idle, not mid-work) even before the message pops up. The LEDs light up, but the keys don't do any input. Switching USB ports didn't fix.

I could test the keyboard on a laptop, but it would take time until this problem occurs. Sometimes it takes 30 mins after reconnection, or a day.

usb device not recognized (malfunction) - Printer

Hope somebody can help a non-techy here.
I have a canon IX4000 printer, and had been using it without problem. The next day (having touched nothing), I got a USB device not recognized warning, and that it has a malfunction (this is under Windows XP).

I've tried the following:
- deinstalling all USB drivers under device manager
- system restore to several days prior, when I knew the printer was working
- trying a different USB lead (tested the lead on another device, so know it works)
- plugged lead into every other available USB port on the computer (front and back).
- tried plugging it into another computer (comes up with the same malfunction warning)
- deinstalled the printer drivers, downloaded and reinstalled them.

Nothing I've tried works. I know the printer functions as I can start it up under service mode and print off test pages without problems, but my computer just won't have it. Could it be a hardware failure, and if not is there anything else I can try that isn't listed above?

Really grateful to anyone who can reply. *Smile

 

"USB Device not recognized: One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it."

When I attach USB Stick to my computer I get the following message: "USB Device not recognized: One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it."

This USB Stick is working fine when attached to other computers or devices only on this one computer isn't recognized.

Device Manager is showing "Exclamation Mark" when this Stick is attached to USB port. If I unplug it, "Exclamation Mark" disappears.



Can you tell me, please, what should I do to fix this issue, USB Stick to be recognized again on this computer. Thank you!

 

One of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned

I keep getting the following error message.

One of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. But the location of the device is blank. Also all the USB devices are working fine. I have got Windows 10.
