I have a gaming pc with the foll config.
I5 9400F
Asus B365g mobo
Corsair 8+8GB ddr4 memory
Corsair TXM psu.
Zotac 1060 6gb
Of late i have observed that whenever i play some game,my tp link usb wifi adapter gets disconnected & disappears from the list of networking devices and is no longer detected by the system unless i physically remove and plug it back in-but sometimes its not detected even after i plug it back in and the only way i can get it to work is by keeping my pc off for atleast 30mins-1 hr and turning it back on again.
I tested with a different wifi adapter,even tried plugging it into another usb port at the rear i/o panel of the mobo but to no avail.I even tried using a usb hub to connect the adapter instead of plugging it directly to the usb port but the issue still persists.
However when the adapter is plugged into the front i/o panel of the cabinet,such issues dont occur and it works fine.
I am really baffled by this issue-it persists even after i reinstalled a fresh copy of windows.
I read somewhere that sometimes a bad psu can cause usb devices to malfunction-can this be true in my situation?Even though i have not observed any other symptoms of psu malfunction on my system yet.
Or is the mobo itself acting up?
Please advice what needs to be done to fix the problem.
(PS i have noticed that the adapter becomes pretty hot when it gets disconnected-could this somehow be responsible for the problem?)
