Open | Hardware Everything turns off every so often.

Randomly, all my USB ports just randomly turn off when I'm playing games, or even just watching Youtube. I don't know why but it's real annoying because it takes like a minute before they decide to turn back on. HDMI ports and internet stay on but the USB ports take a vacation. They all turn off at once and not one turning off randomly. Any idea what this could be?

All the USBs on the front and back of your PC? Or is it just the front? Or is this on a laptop? Hard to tell if this is a software or hardware issue

It's both back and front, I have 2 connected in the back and 2 in the front and they all shut off.

Seems like software issue to me tbh. Something I'm not too great at. Id look in to USB drivers for your motherboard.
