Usb over current

[VoyexTech]

I have an issue where the usbs that are integrated into my motherboard don't work without displaying a "USB overcurrent computer will shut down in 15 seconds to protect the mainboard" error if anything I'd plugged in or not.

 

This all started when I removed my motherboard to find a graphics card crew that I lost in there then I decided to rewire the pc to cable manage it.

 

Is there anyway I forget to plug something ln?

Did I fry my mother board?

 

P.S if I take out all the ram the pc will not shut off in 15 seconds is that because there was an issue with the dimm slot or that it won't boot to the bios to display the error?

 

System specs:

PC Manufacturer: IBuyPower

OS: Windows 10

Motherboard: $50 Msi

Graphics: AMD R7 250X

Cpu: Intel I5 4690K

Ram: Kingston HyperX fury 1600mhz 8gbx2

Additional: 1 DVD drive

 

Sorry I don't exactly know my motherboard model

the device connected to the usb port is drawing too much power from the computer
perhaps make sure that you connected the 4/8pin cpu power ? would be surprising. but who knows.

Not that I could see. Could the issue be with the dimm slots? Because I don't have any issues if there is no ram plugged in

are the ram sticks placed as they were ?
some oem pc's are quite annoyed when you play around with the ram

Yes I was using some new ram I bought that I have been using for a year but I put the original ram back in it to test same error

I had this issue on a custom PC I built. I believe it was from the IO shield making bad contact with a USB slot and shorting out.

 

The steps I took to fix it were thus:

1. Remove the motherboard

2. Replace the motherboard being very careful with the rear io

3. Before starting the machine, put plastic/rubber caps in all the usb ports 

 

When it then started up without the error, I one at a time replaced the plastic plugs with the devices I wanted to put in right away.

Already tried that no luck with that I will occasionally boot and say new memory detected ( becaue I reset the bios )  but if I plug in the keyboard I get the usb over current error

 

I also have already disconnected all the front panel usbs

No idea. The plugs came with my motherboard or I wouldn't have known what to do either.

 

Should be super easy to find on amazon.

OK I'll get some in the mean time I will put something nonconductive like a pice of paper rolled around the usb on the inside to test

Thanks for all the help I am going to try another suggestion and if not I'll just buy a new motherboard. It's time for an upgrade anyway

remove the mobo from the case, put it a cardboard box, plug in only the essential components (your CPU has iGP, so no need to plug the video card) and peripherals and boot it up - does it still do it?!

it does - RMA time

it doesn't - start adding components one by one and test with each

 

inspect the case for any misplaced standoffs or any other metal bits that don't belong in the mobo area

[Smite]

Physically check to make sure the USB has no bent pins Like one is rolled up etc. This happened to me on a xps 12 laptop. took me a while to figure it out and fix.

Ok I tried to fix the problem it turns out I forgot the plastic spacers between the motherboard and the case and fried the board I just bought a new one
