Problems with USB ports and "USB Controller resources exceeded" pop-up sometimes.

[JZA]

Hello, I am having a trouble with my PC where the USB ports are acting erratic. Sometimes I plug things in and they wont be recognised (no beep and device doesn't work) and sometimes I get a popup saying that "USB Controller Resources Exceeded". It started maybe a couple of weeks ago but it has become a permanent issue. I have checked Device manager and nothing is showing any issues. I have checked for windows updates, check my motherboard BIOS is up to date and I have run "SFC /Scannow" and "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" through command prompt to check for errors in the OS files but nothing was found. Can anyone help me?

 

My system:

ASUS ROG B550-F Gaming Wifi motherboard

AMD Ryzen 5600X

ASUS TUF RTX 3070 OC

Dunno what other specs would be of use but ask if you need to know. 

 

Cheers

List everything you have plugged in (including hubs).

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately I already tried this and it didn't work.

 

I do have an update on the issue though. I was using my MacBook Pro and I tried plugging My Corsair slipstream dongle (which hasn't worked on my Windows PC at all for about a month) into the USB-C hub/dock/dongle thing that I have and it worked straight away so I tried doing the same with my Windows PC (it has one lonesome USB-C port on the back) and it also worked. So the dongle wont work at all plugged into my Windows PC via any of the normal USB ports (I have tried them all) but it works fine if plugged into the USB-C port via a dongle. Does that illuminate any potential issues/causes?

Hi, I have a corsair K70 keyboard (which also has a USB passthrough with a Sennheiser BTD 600 dongle plugged into it), my Gigabyte monitor has a two port USB hub in it which is plugged into the computer and has my XBOX elite charging cable and XBOX controller dongle plugged into it, and I have my MOZA R5 Racing wheel plugged in. That is all that's plugged in right now and I have also tried removing all of the superfluous things and just leaving my mouse and keyboard plugged in but I still have issues with some devices not connecting. 

 

Note: In my previous reply just moments ago I mentioned that I had some luck using a USB-C dongle which has allowed me to connect my mouse dongle which doesn't work at all when plugged into my other USB ports.

If you boot to bios does your keyboard work in bios on a usb 2 port?

 

if the answer is no, you have a hardware failure and the fix is to live with the usb c solution or get a new motherboard. If the answer is yes, you have a windows software issue. Then it’s a matter of tracking down what’s causing it or a reinstall of windows.

 

Off chance it’s a static buildup issue. To test, unplug computer and press and hold power button for 10 seconds. Then replug and restart. That procedure discharges all the capacitors and sometimes fixes weird issues.
