Answer #1
Give system restore a go:

Pick a restore point that was made before it started. If the issue remains, Then check your motherboard for bad capacitors, Refer to these pics for examples;

Answer #2
lets say the problem is with capacitors.. what is the solution?
Answer #3
u mentioned you switched ports….try switching the device itself i.e try different keyboard and mouse….this will help you know whether your keyboard mouse is faulty or the ports….
Answer #4
lets say the problem is with capacitors.. what is the solution?
Well, There’s two of em:
1. Replace the motherboard (Will require an OS reinstall afterward)
2. Replace the capacitors (Requires a soldering iron and some knowledge/experience, This ones for the pros)
But it could also just be an OS problem of a sort. You could try booting from a Linux Live CD to determine if this is the case or not.
try switching the device itself i.e try different keyboard and mouse....this will help you know whether your keyboard mouse is faulty or the ports....
It’s unlikely that both of em will go bad at the same time, But it’s worth a try I guess.
However, Even if the problem will remain, This will not indicate a problem with the ports themselves, But with the OS or motherboard capacitors.
