Randomly Keyboard or mouse stops working and I get the "Usb device has malfunctioned" message in the bottom right of the screen.
Wait a few seconds and usually everything resets and works again.
It happens far more frequently with the keyboard and since the keyboard is illuminated and the lights go out and come back on again I can see this is happening. Sometimes however they don't come back on and I have to unplug it and plug it back in again to get it to work.
This only rarely happens with the mouse.
This hasn't always happened and only started happening recently (As has a refusal to go to "Sleep", whether this is related or not again I do not know) What might be happening and how can it be fixed.
Ultimately I might do a fresh load but this is a massive ballache to do and I would prefer not to have to.
