Over Current with nothing plugged in taking bets on faulty component

BatteringHam

Hello LTT!

 

I am getting the message: "Over Current Have Been Detected On Your USB Device!! System will shutdown after 15 seconds to protect your mainboard!!" when I boot up my PC. This doesn't always happen, only about 50% of the time. It even happens when nothing is plugged into the tower, not even monitors. I've inspected the ports, and it doesn't seem like anything is wrong. 

 

At this point, I think I'm going to try buying a new motherboard or powersupply, but wanted to reach out to see if anyone here had any other ideas or wanted to take a bet on which component is the problem.

 

Thank you for your time & opinions ✨

I would seriously look at each one of your USB ports.  Something is shorted out on it.  Could be a contact pin on the inside of a USB port that's bent.  First place I would look with that message.
