   *Common Causes for these specific errors*   
      
   (Provided by Gemini AI)   
      
   Based on the exact error codes (-110 and -62) shown in your image:   
      
   Power Insufficiency: Error -110 is very frequently caused by a device   
   (like an external hard drive or a USB wifi dongle) drawing more power   
   than the port can provide.   
      
   Hardware Damage: The logs could indicate a physically damaged USB port   
   or a failing cable.   
      
   Faulty USB Hub: Since the error is on "port 8.1," it often points to a   
   device plugged into an internal or external USB Hub rather than directly   
   into the motherboard.
