Unfortunately there is no notification if something crashes. Only my USB
devices no longer work. To be honest, I haven't looked in the log files
for a crash until now. In addition, I could not provoke the complete
crash now. For testing I switched from the nvidia driver to the nouveau
driver and the problems are gone. Now I have other issues but these are
related to the Nouveau driver and the fact that I haven't set it up
accordingly. So can I assume that this is not a USB problem, but rather
an nvidia problem?

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I have this problem when using the Steam client so I'm not sure if this is
kernel related or not, but please see my notice at the end of this section.
When Steam is only running in the background, my entire system sound usually
cracks. This occurs on both Steam and non-Steam games. All my USB devices
stop working for a second. So when I write something, some letters do not
appear on the screen, and sometimes my mouse clicks are not recognized
either. As soon as I close steam completely, the problems are gone.
Sometimes my entire USB driver crashes so I have to restart my computer to
get it working again.
Is there any kernel log messages happening when this occurs?
You can look at them by typing 'dmesg' in a console window.
You say something crashes, what is the message when that happens?
And can you reproduce this without the nvidia drivers loaded?
thanks,
