Hello,

Can someone please help me debug whether its a hardware issue or software related. When I was playing a game system suddenly got hung and in the device manager the USB shows with yellow mark (attaching pictures). The issue goes away when I turn of SMPS and hold power button for 10 seconds and start the pc. The hang sitution doesn't allow me to shutdown the pc as well, I have to hard stop the pc by pressing power button.

    Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

    Open Windows File Explorer.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

    Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

    Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

    Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you.

    The USB device error in Device Manager is usually also linked to a problem with the chipset drivers, what USB devices are connected to your PC.

    System Specs:

    OS: Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (Build 26100.4768)

    Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WiFi 7

    GPU: NVIDIA (latest drivers installed via GeForce Experience)

    CPU: AMD Ryzen (with Ryzen Master installed)

    Storage: NVMe SSD

    RAM: DDR5

    Power Supply: [Your SMPS model & wattage]

    Peripherals: Logitech G502 mouse, Corsair RGB devices, Canon webcam (previously connected), Realtek WiFi 7 PCIe NIC, Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE NIC

    Current Status:

    Issue is intermittent; not easily reproducible on demand.

    Suspected cause is a driver or hardware-level power state handling problem (likely PCIe USB controller or Realtek/NVIDIA interaction).

    Considering whether this is a motherboard firmware/driver issue or a Windows power management bug.

    USB\VID_0000&PID_0002 is just a standard USB host controller, it is not an external USB device, so the problem is either with the chipset drivers, or a possible problem with the motherboard.
