Hello forum!



So I have this weird issue going on for a long time. Since I got so many peripherals that my motherboard's USB ports are full if I want to plug in everything, sometimes 1 or 2 of them just stop working. First it started with the mouse, it completely switched off, no light, couldn't move, until I plugged out and in. Thought it's the mouse's fault, but when I plugged in on the top of the computer's USB port, everything was normal. Then I switched the USB's everything was fine, and now it started with the keyboard. Lights are on, but I can't type anything until I plug out and out, switch a few USBs. Once again, if I plug this on the top of my PC usb ports, everything works wonderfully.



Is it that my motherboard's USB ports are so overloaded that sometimes it stops working. Or what could be this issue? 



Please help.

i get this after a few years on laptops, generally followed by pnp failure.

generally i would use event monitor to see the actual point of failure, it could be the windows driver corrupt (if your keyboard and mouse work before windows boots, then dont work at windows log in) = safe mode system repair.

if its a hardware issue on mobo (like it normally is with my laptops) then you can try bios update (possibly corrupt or ood) else i would normally be looking at a new laptop (in your case a new mobo or extra usb driver card) = internal or *external* usb port card/box + plug everything into that (*ensure the external isnt running from a usb socket obv.*)

Yea I will definitely get a new mobo, I was planning to change everything this summer or autumn, but it's getting a pain in the ass, and I might not have the patience to wait until then. Cause my PC seems more like a curse, with different problems every single day.
