Feb 20, 2021 08:46 EST · Hot! with 29 comments About three months ago, some AMD 500-series chipset motherboard owners started reporting problems related to USB on the AMD subreddit, among other places. Although initially it was thought to be only an issue on Gigabyte boards, soon users of other brands also began echoing similar sentiments. Generally, among the problems faced by users, USB drives or peripherals attached would randomly unplug, and these are reported as frequent occurrences. Today, AMD's official Reddit account has released a statement regarding the matter. It says: AMD is aware of reports that a small number of users are experiencing intermittent USB connectivity issues reported on 500 Series chipsets. We have been analyzing the root cause and at this time, we would like to request the community’s assistance with a small selection of additional hardware configurations. Over the next few days, some r/Amd users may be contacted directly by an AMD representative (u/AMDOfficial) via Reddit’s PM system with a request for more information.
