    Something wrong with the USB controller so, try removing them and restart. You will probably need to get a hold of your motherboard disc, containing the drivers for the USB hubs.

    Eh I don't think so, do you know who manufactured your motherboard or if not the make/model of the PC?

    try removing all the usb components in device manager, and restart the pc to see if windows will redetect them, right-click the device and select uninstall to remove
