Your USB port is likely faulty. There is a failsafe built in where it will cut all power to the computer if it can’t regulate the power it is sending to the device (i.e. too much).
First of all, stop plugging your devices in – it could damage them. You will need to have a tech look at it, and probably replace the USB (a card can be added if you have an open slot) – not too expensive.
