USB Not working

So basically, whenever I plug in my microphone, it doesn't turn on and says "Power surge on the USB port. Unknown USB Device needs more power than the port can supply". This is the first time it has happened but I have had the mic for months. If you need to know, it is a Blue Yeti Mic, here's the link to it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Yeti-USB-Microphone-Blackout/dp/B00N1YPXW2/ref=sr_1_3?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzunmBRDsARIsAGrt4mtjEfigSRY9I3NUlHNW959Kd_s_5bfDiyYgpxjd5vxa1uZz9aqM73caAg1kEALw_wcB&hvadid=177218034405&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9014901&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=17775906225930123621&hvtargid=kwd-14664349409&hydadcr=18911_9698412&keywords=blue+yeti+microphone&qid=1557865395&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Plug it into a USB port coming off a different USB controller....

If its a laptop it may have to do with the laptop being plugged in.

If its a computer it, if its a front pannel USB the power shared between the ports may mean its not enough try using another USB port on the back. Also avoid using USB splitters as that splits the power so it wouldnt be getting enough.
