When I try to connect some device to my computer's USB ports, a strange sound comes (electric sound) and my PC suddenly freezes. It doesn't happens all the time, but randomly I think.

Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

EDIT:

  • My computer becomes completely unresponsive when this problem happens, and I then need to restart the PC.
  • It happens with all devices like my mouse, keyboard, mobile phone or headset.
  • It happens with all USB ports (I tried with 2-3 different ports).
  • The strange sound comes from the PC itself, not the speakers.

    Is it static shock? Try grounding yourself/the usb plug before inserting into the port.

  • @Kruug Can it be static shock? I just tried to connect my phone nearly 15 times and there was no problem.

  • With any of the ports? What if you connect a USB hub to a port and connect to a hub. You could try a small M-F USB extension cable. ending in a female socket and plug into that and see if you still get the problem. a bit of a workaround.
