Could the charge problems be a voltage problem within the PC?
If your BIOS has a voltage viewer or if the motherboard came with a system monitor that displays voltage, check these; could indicate PC power supply problem.

I know it’s obvious but the other thing to try is plug the USB cable into each USB socket on the PC, there could be a failing of the USB hardware on the motherboard. I know I have had component failure like this.

Interesting thought. Windows XP certainly caches snap shots of memory in the Prefetch folder in C:\Windows\Prefetch for fast bootup and loading of programs. It is Ok to delete the contents of this folder and then reboot. Windows will then reload the Prefetch folder with fresh images. The only thing noticeable would be initial bootup / program start will be slower after that thing would be back to normal.

I have no idea if this would help! But if zwer is correct it might
