Problems with USB port connections
Problems with USB port connections
I observed an issue around early September where my USB mouse (Logitech g503 wired) functioned properly for about 10 minutes before suddenly stopping. It would work briefly then cease again. Restarting the PC resolved it for a short time, but the problem reappeared shortly after. After uninstalling the Logitech G Hub, it seemed to fix the issue temporarily for a day, though it returned the next day. Even my wireless Artic 7+ stopped working and went static. My wired keyboard remained stable after hours of troubleshooting—uninstalling USB drivers, running system restore, checking updates, changing power plans, etc.—but the mouse was still problematic. I discovered a workaround by using specific ports on my PC, though I’m unsure why only certain ports worked. The image shows my motherboard (ASUS ROG Rampage Vi Extreme Encore) with all ports except ports 3 and 5 malfunctioning with either the mouse or headset, while the keyboard stayed fine unless keys were pressed briefly. Port 9 doesn’t work at all. I plugged the wireless adapter directly into the headset (using the extension cable) to see the problem, but port 11 functions correctly. Ports 8 and 10 are working well, but front case USB ports have the same issues. The Coolomaster MASTERCASE H500M gaming case also shows similar problems with input lag and disconnections. Power through them is fine, but anything requiring input suffers. My PC is around three years old and has never had issues before. I haven’t updated BIOS, but I think the risk of using a faulty USB is too high now. It might not be worth spending on a new system just yet—I’m considering delaying the purchase for another year.
Sure, let me clarify your setup. Are these USB ports receiving power directly from the hub without separate voltage sources? And do many devices need constant power from the USB connection?
