What do you mean too much power? The HUB supplies 5 volts. It will be fine.

Then use your front panel USB ports. Or the back of the PC.

Its the HUBs fault. Not your PCs fault.

so i can charge it off my monitors hub?

No. It wont supply enough power i guess. Use the front or back of the PC.

It probably supplies up to half an amp like most computer ports. It's unlikely to be any different than a port on your PC.

Can kind of confirm what Glenwing said. As far as I know, the USB hub in your monitor completely bypasses the monitor itself. The maximum current and voltage and whatever more will depend on the individual hub, on the cable used, and on the USB port on your computer. I'm pretty sure nothing will get damaged. I've sometimes charged my phone (a bit) off of my USB monitor hub.
