It is likely to be a motherboard problem which powers the USB ports, unless the USB ports on this laptop have a separate board which would be easier to replace

You could try checking out your ac adapter, if this is not supply enough power it could cause this problem

Hi. To work out the power rating on the AC adapter you need to multiply the voltage by the current. In your case you have replaced a 135watt supply with a 120 watt supply so this could well be the problem.

I would suggest reseating memory, or if you have spare memory stick swap this with the RAM in the laptop
