BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER

The USB stack hit a fatal error — a buggy USB controller driver, a misbehaving USB device, or its driver.

Likely causes, most common first

A misbehaving USB device or hub
Outdated USB/chipset drivers
A buggy device-specific driver (audio interfaces, capture cards, dongles)

How to fix it

1. Isolate the device and update drivers easy

Unplug non-essential USB devices; reconnect one at a time to find the trigger.
Update chipset and USB drivers from your PC or motherboard maker.
Update the firmware/driver of the identified device.
