I have got a MSI Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard bought in 2015 along with an i5 4690k, overclocked to 4.4 GHz. I primarily use the machine for gaming and some CFD simulations. I was away from home at college, for a few months, and after returning due to the pandemic, when I first switched on my system I was greeted by
"Over Current have been detected on your USB Device, System will shut down in 15 seconds to protect your mainboard"
Subsequently, browsing all forums and watching a few videos, I learnt that it might be a faulty usb device or a faulty port. I disconnected all devices and checked all ports for damage and debris like dust, etc. and still got the same message. I am unable to find any information as to why I have an issue. If you guys have any suggestions apart from changing my motherboard, that'd be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S.: The system worked completely fine before I left in August, 2019 and no issues regarding this. While I was away, no one in my family touched the system, let alone turned it on.
