I have a PC with these specs:
Asus B365g motherboard
intel-9400F
8+8GB 3000 mhz corsair memory
Corsair TXM 750 psu
nvidia 1060 6gb
3 x HDD
OS: Win 10 pro 22H2
Of late i have observed that my usb devices,more specifically my TP link wifi adapter keeps disconnecting and reconnecting for no apparent reason and this cycle continues until i physically unplug the adapter and plug it again(ie a simple restart doesn't fix it).
This cycle of disconnection/reconnection started a few days ago while gaming-suddenly all of my usb devices disconnected and reconnected back again (including my game controller).However i found that the wifi adapter was no longer being detected .Upon restarting it was still the same-it was only after i physically removed and plugged the adapter back again that it was detected.
However today as i was playing a game,the same thing happened all over again-the game was running smoothly but suddenly there was a significant FPS drop and it was followed by the dreaded sound of usb devices losing power.But this time the adapter keeps disconnecting/reconnecting even after being unplugged and plugging back in.It keeps getting disconnected every few mins even when the pc is idle.
I assumed that the adapter must be faulty and so i switched it with another known good adapter but it didn't resolve the issue.I tried the usb port adjacent to the one in which it was plugged earlier-it worked fine for a while but the problem came back again after some time.
But when i move the adapter to any of the usb ports at the front i/o panel of the cabinet it gets detected immediately and continues to work fine.
I am really perplexed by this-whats causing this bizzare issue in my system?Is the motherboard going bad?
These components are barely 2 years old and have not been used much as i seldom get time for gaming these days.Could it be some software related glitch?
