Question How to fix issue of components constantly disconnecting and then reconnecting ?

My PC has been doing very bizarre things lately. Every 30 seconds or so, I’ll hear the Windows “device disconnected” notification, which is almost immediately followed by the “device connected” notification. In between that time, I can see my cooler and fans’ lighting effects go crazy and reset to what I have set up on iCue. It is incredibly frustrating and I don’t know what’s causing it, so any help is useful.

PC specs:
Motherboard - ASUS ROG Strix X670E-A
CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
GPU - GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Eagle 16GB
 
Hey there,

Disconnect all USB cables, bar the mouse and keyboard. Boot up. Do you still hear the disconnects? Add each peripheral again one by one, until you figure out what hardware it is.

It could also be a known bug in some AGESA updates from AMD. What bios are you running? A bios upgrade could fix issues like this.

Press your windows start menu icon, type device manager, and run it.

At the top click `View` and `Show Hidden Devices`. Now it will display all the devices on your system. Do you see any with warning flags against them? If so double click on it and in the Device Status box please provide the error code.

If no errors show keep it running and wait for something to disconnect, then tell us the error code.

What is the device that keeps disconnecting? Something inside the computer or plugged into a USB socket?
