Framework Laptop 13 - 11th gen Intel
While reviewing my system logs, I noticed several recurring log entries about USB devices plugging/unplugging that did not make any sense to me, because during that time I did not plug any device.
I tried to troubleshoot and ended up removing all expansion cards, and even in this case, I see these logs been printed when I hold my laptop with only one hand, or when i lift it from the table. This makes me think about some USB related hardware semi-broken, that disconnects when the laptop is moved.

What can I do?
Thanks in advance
Edit: While writing this post, and having all USB expansion cards removed, I noticed that everything started running extremely slow, much like if the CPU has been throttled.
Having read this and having actually had the exact same problem in the past (while my CPU was under heavy load for a long period of time), I recognized the same behaviour of “slowiness”.
But this time, my pc was almost idle, and except removing the expansion cards and have firefox open I did not do anything special… So I rebooted and took a full boot journal log while the machine was still running throttled.
I’m writing this update and everything is still throttled (still no usb card plugged in)… This whole story gets worse every second…
