Hi all, this issue has been bugging me for weeks but only recently been worse. Almost all of my USB devices either freeze at random intervals frequently until I unplug them and plug them in again, or disconnect completely and reconnect themselves all at the same time. My PC also experiences crashes to BSOD as well as blackscreen restarts. The devices are plugged into different hubs such as monitor, main IO, top of case, and a PCIE to USB extension card, so I've pretty much ruled out the issue being certain ports. Going through the device manager and disabling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on all 17ish usb controllers does help to an extent, but has to be done after every restart as they enable themselves at random sometimes. Even now writing this though, my keyboard is missing some inputs or "sticking" on some. These issues happen both when there is no stress on a system or when there is, but more frequently when I am running a game etc. This is making me think that my power supply is possibly going bad rather than I am maxing it out as it is a 650w. Specs Below now.

I shouldn't be maxing out my 650w PSU with those specs, but if it was failing and not producing enough wattage for my pc, that could explain the crashes and USB devices being turned off to save power, progressing into them freezing and restarting. Any ideas? I'm open to replacing either PSU or Motherboard, but would like to have some opinions / options to try before ordering something just to return it.
Edit: I have also ran Windows Memory Diagnostic to test my ram for any issues, as the issues seem to have gotten worse since I installed 16 more GB of ram (Increased watt usage taken from failing psu?). But got this log result. "The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer's memory and detected no errors"
