USB port problem

[JNJ]

So recently I started experiencing issues with the USB ports on my PC. After some time (it varies from hours to minutes) all of the USB ports stop working.Also if audio is being played it gets corrupted and starts emitting static noises. I connect my Keyboard, mouse, and headphones through  USB so the computer essentially becomes unusable. Restarting the PC solves all of the above problems it but it is very annoying when it happens in middle of something important.

 

I have tried different USB devices (Wireless and Wired Keyboard, Mouse, Flash drive) and none of those are registered by the system.The aforementioned devices work like they normally would on my laptop.The 3.5 mm audio jacks continue to perform normally.If a youtube video is playing then it continues to play normally.So its not like the OS freezes or anything like that.I even tried upgrading from Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit to Windows 10 64 bit but the problem still persists.So I would say that the problem is solely hardware related.

 

So guys please help me here. Its so annoying.

 

(This is my first time using LTT forums so if I have posted it in wrong section then I am really sorry. )

Try to do a clean install of Windows on a spare drive, and see if that makes a difference, as if the issue was present in Windows 7 then it may not have gone away just because of the update to Windows 10.

Have you looked on the motherboard to make sure the front board usb and audio ports are plugged in correctly (should be at the bottom of the mobo)?. And if you're not sure, unplug all of the front panel cables, grab a can of air and blow off any possible dust that could have collected on the motherboard, then plug them all back in the way they were in before.

I installed it on a different partition.But I will try that if all else fails.

The ports I mentioned are all on motherboard.
