I have a problem with my USB ports on my Pavilion laptop. They work normally for 2 days and the 3rd day I don't get them to work anymore. Whenever I don't get them to work, there's nothing I can do, they turn up like normal in device manager. I've reinstalled the drivers and tried to adjust fast startup settings, all without result. I have tried rebooting many times but it only seems to work again when I take my laptop to another place and start it the next day, everything is working like usual. I have tried the USB test in the f2 startup module, and it turned out with an error message. I have attached it to this question.

I reviewed your post and I understand that the USB ports are not working correctly on the computer.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I recommend you contact support as it looks like a hardware issue.
Here is how you can get in touch with support.

3)Enter the serial number of your device or select let HP detect your product option.
4)Select the country from the drop-down.
