Hello, I've faced this problem for nearly a year now. My USBs begin to disconnect intermittently. It started after installing a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM. Once the PC powers on, it initially shows small, almost imperceptible interruptions in my peripherals. Over time, these gaps grow until the system becomes nearly unusable, leaving only tiny openings for devices. The outages don<|pad|>, sometimes not at all. I've noticed it often occurs when launching a game, even simple ones. The silver side is that a quick restart resolves the issue for the entire session. Essentially, I have to turn on the PC, start a game, and then reboot to get a fully working machine. The problem appears on both Windows and Linux, suggesting it's not an OS-specific issue. I've updated my BIOS several times, adjusted most settings, and modified the OS power management, but nothing resolves it. I suspect the USB ports might be loose or have poor contact if cables aren't plugged in correctly, though that doesn't explain the reboot fix. I've also tried using a USB-C hub instead of the original adapter, but it didn't help. Any suggestions?
