Hi all,
Please check out my sig for my system spec!
Im having an odd issue that has starting happening over the last month or so (nothing has been changed in the meantime that could relate to the issue).
I keep getting a USB Device Descriptor Failed error in Windows 10, and when this happens the unknown device also appears in the Device Manager with the error message.
Even when nothing is plugged into any of the USB ports I still get this error randomly pop up, weird thing is that everything is working as normal and all USB ports seem to be working just fine. In terms of USB devices I only ever use my Afterglow Prismatic Xbox One Controllers and also my bluetooth USB receiver for my Logitech K400 Plus keyboard.
I have ensured all drivers are up to date and have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all of the USB drivers with no luck as the error crops back up.
I tried reformatting and reinstalling the system from scratch but the problem still keeps popping up which is now making me think its possibly a hardware issue (I have had some rather strange issues with this build since the start and spent quite a bit of money identifying and sorting some strange problems).
I have done my research and tried various methods appearing online but none of them have worked for me, although some of them have sometimes held the error off for a few days to the point where I thought its fixed, then it just crops back up out of nowhere!
Like I said, other than the error displaying itself the system works exactly as it should and all USB ports work just fine even though this USB device descriptor error keeps popping up, it happens randomly and nothing to do with any specific USB devices.
My thoughts are now that its either the motherboard (this is currently my second one) or maybe something to do with the USB hub built into my Gamemax Falcon case? (but the ports on both the case and motherboard seem to work just fine).
Even though the system works just fine and its just a petty error causing no issues whatsoever, its really getting to me!
Appreciate your thoughts and any ideas for me to try on this before I start throwing money at the system, which I really dont wanna do as would rather put money towards a new build!
