When something bad happens in fastboot an error code is generated.
In Windows, when a device is disconnected or failed that error code is:
Code:
C:\>mctest 0x1f
System message code 0x0000001F
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
If we were sane we'd type out that last line.
But no... 0x1f is 31 decimal. 31 interpreted as a Linux error code is:
Code:
31	EMLINK	Too many links
(That error is when you have a chain of symbolic links too long and the system suspects that maybe the links are circular.)
It's been like this for over a decade.

In any case, to address your problem.
You have wonky USB. Blow the dust out of connectors, try different cables, different ports.
