Hello Corsair community,
I hope this message finds you well.
I've recently resolved a persistent issue with USB disconnects on my system, and I wanted to share my findings with you all.
After thorough troubleshooting, I discovered that the Corsair ST100 device was the root cause.
The disruptions were severe enough to consider an RMA for the motherboard.
However, after weeks of testing without the ST100 connected, the issues vanished.
Reconnecting the ST100 brought back the USB disconnects.
For those curious about my system, I use an Asus B650E-I motherboard with BIOS version 1654, and the Corsair ST100 is running firmware version 0.04.106, and the ST100 was directly connected to an USB 3.0 port on the motherboard.
Additionally, besides its aesthetic appeal, the Corsair ST100 served a functional purpose in my setup. Its two USB ports were particularly convenient, as I used one to connect the wireless headphone adapter.
Losing this functionality was a notable drawback in addition to the visual aspect.
In light of the widespread nature of this issue, I believe it requires a comprehensive investigation on Corsair's part.
To demonstrate that this problem isn't isolated to my setup, I'll be attaching several links to forums where others have reported similar issues.
1st, 2nd.
As for my situation, what steps should I take to address my specific issue, and is there any solution currently available?
Best regards
