This is a tricky one - I really don't have an answer
From your post I figure you do not use hibernate or suspend?
Anything else that behaves odd?
Is it the same in all USB ports?
Any difference if you use or not use the printer?
Much use - little use?

This has to do with the inner workings of the motherboard which is a complicated matter
What I can think of in your case is that some buffer - in hardware or software - is filled up for some reason and you get a buffer overflow
But which one and what to do about it.....
I have to see if I can figure something out and come back to you
