I'm experiencing a frustrating issue where my WiFi (via Ethernet) and the USB ports disconnect randomly. The WiFi seems to hold a connection for about 30 minutes to an hour before dropping, while all devices connected to the front panel USB ports disconnect at the same time. Restarting my PC brings the USB ports back online, but the WiFi remains disconnected. Here are some additional details:
- The USB devices connected at the back of the PC only experience a brief disconnection before returning to normal.
- The WiFi connection is still available on other devices in the house.
- Turning off the PC for a while can restore the WiFi temporarily, but it will disconnect again after about 30 minutes.
- My motherboard BIOS is updated to the latest non-beta version.
Here are my PC specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 3200G
- GPU: GTX 1660 6GB
- Motherboard: Asus A320M-K
- Storage: Kingston KC3000 1TB
- PSU: Corsair CV650
I'm not very experienced with PC troubleshooting, so I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. Any advice would be appreciated!

First things first, have you checked if you installed the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard? Sometimes BIOS updates aren't enough, and installing the correct drivers can solve a lot of connectivity issues. Just a thought!
I updated the chipset driver, but unfortunately, that didn't solve the issue. The disconnections still happen.
I haven't updated the chipset drivers yet, just the BIOS. I'll give that a shot and let you know if it works!
