You tried putting them in diffrent USB Ports. Make sure theres no dirt stuck in them.

My old pc had usb failure like it was a necessity for something. After a while, it was just 2 ports on the motherboard that worked. Unplug anything thats in usb that you don't need all the time. Could help. Try other ports if you havent.
