If it is a laptop, I have had several laptops (one running linux and one running windows) where some of the USB hardware died after 3-5 years. I suspect that the cooling design for the usb devices was not great and they cooked. I did start using an extra laptop cooling fan and that seemed to help the disconnects a small amount. It also could be devices on the usb that are having issues and/or causing it. Typically on most desktops and laptop there are at most 2 actual usb controllers that all of the ports are connected to, so if one usb controller has issues it can cause random issues on more than one external port.
