My usb stick is playing up again, can't access files folders

My usb stick is playing up again. I presed control+s to save a Kate tx file and Kate froze
I prssed alt key and new and it made a dupliacte of the Kate txt file both are identical and frozen.
The usb plasma desktop says it mounted.
I went into dolphin and I did not see any yellow folders for the usb, I did see a blue bar on the bottom right of the screen saying "loading" 0 folders 0 files after clicking the usb icon in dolphin for the usb.
It's the same usb that I had problems just recently and got my files back when it started working again in a different slot.

I stuck in another usb and click mount and that said accessing but went back to saying mount in the plasma icon bottom far right of screen. I won't switch off the pc in the meantime. System Load is hovering around 40%-45% of CPU. It's normally lower when the problem with usb is no happening.
