It doesn't sound - to me - like a hardware problem (because it also 
happens with USB).  But, to rule it out, are you in a position to 
check whether the same happens with a different OS?

Second, if you installed from an F19 live CD, could you try running 
that, live, and see what happens?  (Depending on your bandwidth, maybe 
you could get hold of and try the F19 live CD, anyway, to see whether 
the updates you mentioned did change the symptoms.)
