GeneralUSB Ports Acting ScreweymemberKevin Marois15 Feb '13 - 7:40 
So lately I'm having a weird problem with my USB ports. I'll try to explain.
 
I keep hearing that sound like someone's putting in a flash drive & removing it. Over & over & over. Also, when I look in Windows Explorer, I see a number of "Removable Drives". They must be some kind of virtual drive because I certainly don't have that many pysical drives. They were there when I bought the PC.
 
At any rate, this problem isn't happening all the time. It just randomly starts. When it's happening, the list of drives in Windows Explorer disappears and reappears at a fast rate in sync with the sound I described.
 
This is a fairly new PC, and I use AVG and Malware Bytes and scan regularly.
 
I have a wireless keyboard & mouse, a wireless headset, a printer, and 2 monitors plugged into the USB ports.
 
I have no clue how to figure out what's wrong. Any hardware people wanna point me in the right direction.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
