Make sure you have nothing connected to it that is extra, such as phone
or anything.  And then try a normal reboot and see what happens?  Have
you updated lately and did you have any problems when doing so?  Are you
fully updated now?  Wonder if udev got corrupted somehow?  Maybe a
reinstall of udev itself might fix it, but as last resort.

Go to google and try to post few of the errors and see what pops up.
