    Hey guys,

    I got a little problem with my two USB ports on the the left site on the notebook not working.
    The problem occurred when I played a game on steam, using both USB ports for my headset and my mouse.

    Suddenly the USB ports did not detect my devices and windows gave me the default message.
    I can't get them to work again. Any ideas? :)
