"USB Device Over Current Status Detected" At startup

Nucca · 02 Jan 2013

Hey there, When I start my PC up. I get that error, with an American logo or something.
Then it shuts down after 15 seconds, how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I think you may have an Asus machine or at least an Asus motherboard? This link to may help you solve the problem:

Nope none of those solutions, seem to work for me and yes I do have an ASUS motherboard.

So in less than 10 minutes you managed to remove the motherboard from the case and check for an electrical fault?

EDIT: Just looked at your previous posts and see you had a somewhat similar problem a month of so ago but as you did not respond to the advice given i can't see if that problem was resolved!

I've already seen that site and did that yesterday.

I would help if before posting a question you gave details of what you have already done to try to solve the problem!
Did you use an earth strap when you removed the motherboard?

No I didn't, is there any other possible way to fix this?

If you followed all steps in the linked site and still receive the error message, then return the product for a new one, if that's an option, or take the computer to a local reputable shop. Electrical problems are very difficult to diagnose without the proper equipment.
