Windows 7: Suddenly all USB ports stopped working on win 7

Suddenly all USB ports stopped working on win 7

That day suddenly my PC's USB ports stopped working. I tried all USB ports with deferent kinds of drives(pendirve, mobile, modem) but computer is not responding. I tried reinstalling my windows 7 but remains same. I also tried Ubuntu, Mint, Hirens Boot CD etc but no OS finds my any kind of USB disc. On windows 7 I tried uninstalling and installing USB drives manually but don't work. In the mean time today at dawn one of my USB modem started working(on Windows 7) but after some seconds it became like before.

Can anyone figure out which problem I'm facing? Is it related to my hardware?

First place I would start would be update all primary drivers for your PC, what ever flavor you have, desktop/laptop. Go to that vendors website and download and install all the latest drivers. If you have add on specific hardware go to that vendors site for drivers.

The next thing I would do is to rule out any Virus's, malware, spyware and adware that my be lurking about your system. It's known that some of these nasties can and do corrupt system software and hardware.

Boot into safe mode with networking and then update anti-virus and malware, run a complete anti-virus and malware sweep, see what comes up and report back.

Unplug the PC from the power cord. After it is unplugged, hold in the power button for 30 seconds or so. Leave it unplugged for approx. 1/2 an hour. Try it again. May not be the fix, but it easy to try and it can work when it is not hardware related. A Guy

I had the same problem (all of a sudden).

I expanded "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" branch in the device manager. My USB Root Hubs were showing warning symbol.

I just right clicked each of them, chose "Update Driver Software" and in the popup, chose "Search automatically for updated driver software".

Now the warning symbol in my USB Root Hubs disappeared and devices work without any issue.
