Thread title and desc.
Just yesterday my machine began making the disconnect/reconnect noises non-stop for a period of about 5 minutes. Thing is, I was in-game at the time, and I can confirm that three of my devices were working properly: keyboard, mouse, and speakers (all USB). I even got a "device failed to install" message, followed by a "device successfully installed".
I checked the windows event logs for the time and all I got was an extremely unhelpful "USB Device [long string of random characters] successfully installed".
Then today, when I turned my computer on it stalled at the BIOS screen. I know from past experience that hardware changes make the motherboard pee itself in terror if they happen before boot, so I'm almost certain this is related. Trouble is I don't know what's causing it. I don't have that many USB devices besides those three. I do have a controller in a questionable port, but at least until now physical touch is what's bothered it. That could have changed; whenever it throws a fit seems to be random so it's impossible to reliably test. Worth noting is that both front ports have had issues. The controller is in the one that has had the least amount of issues. The other one has nothing in it because it fails to read damn near anything that goes into it, frequently dropping connection. I would not be surprised if the device that manages both of those is what's failing, but trouble is I don't know how to confirm it nor how to fix it.
