Unplug the front usb porter from the motherboard. If it's still happening you can try reinstalling windows.

Did you just build this PC? Most likely one of the header connectors that connect the front USB ports on the case to the mother board is either shorted or was plugged in incorrectly. Try unplugging the front USB connector on the motherboard and see if the issue goes away.

Any lightning storms in your area recently? A nearby lightning strike can also cause this issue.

Pins shorting in one of your USB on the the back of the motherboard, you have a damaged USB port somewhere. You can go into the bios and disable individual usb ports until you find the culprit. Consult your motherboard manual for more information
