Hi all,
My USB ports are randomly losing power. Only way to 'fix' them is to swap to another USB port (but then they fail too after a while) or to restart, where they magically start working again for a while before failing again.
When they lose power, my keyboard/mouse/headset lights are flashing as if the power is fluctuating on and off.
Happening on both front AND back USB ports.
What could be the cause? Motherboard? PSU?
Hoping there may be some hope before I go out and buy a new motherboard.
Thanks,
