Random loss of power to peripherals

Benaforce · 3 Jan 2024 at 09:34

Hi,

I have a good BeQuiet 850w platinum psu but randomly my peripherals, especially my wireless ones seem to lose connection/power.

Is this a psu issue? as when i unplug some of the peripherals the disconnections stop.

What motherboard have you got and is it on the latest bios?

Some devices (used) to be funny if you connected them via usb3 instead of usb2. Might be an issue like that?

How are your devices connected e g wireless useding the onboard Bluetooth or dongles, etc?

Some of the wireless is on dongles

You might want to try rearranging some of the devices, so that you're not drawing so much power from one hub/pair.

Have you overloaded the power draw on your USB ports? Try moving some to powered USB hubs.

As mentioned before, some devices will play-up depending on the USB port used.
Also, AMD had issues in the past with USB ports losing connection. Personally I’ve been using AMD for ages and never had this issue, but some people had.
My webcam used to cause slow boot if connected to the USB port. Not an issue on AM5 now.

so i jigged around with it and its better.....but still not totally gone.

it seems to go away after a reboot which is odd, like its a cold boot problem.

Yes but which one exactly or if you don't know that at least which chipset and series of CPU's is it, because this was a long standing issue with some B550 and X570 chipsets with the Ryzen 5000 series cpu's, or it sounds very much like that issue.

x670, its only a few months old. Bought as part of a complete new rig.

so i did a bios update, and while it seems a bit better....its still not totally resolved.

checked the USB power settings and they are set to maximum performance with no sleep mode.
