USB Device over current status detected. Usb ports look fine.

Hello LTT, nice to see you all again.

 

I bought a motherboard, but it won't boot. See the title

Nothing is plugged in however. I don't know why it won't boot. All the pins on the motherboard look fine, and so do the usb ports.

 

The motherboard is an Asus 97m-e and the psu is a Recom PE-M600.

 

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

What motherboard? What PSU?

Sorry, forgot to mention. The motherboard is an Asus 97m-e and the psu is a Recom PE-M600.

While it's possible that your motherboard is defective, your PSU may not support the motherboard correctly, especially considering the sleep states Haswell CPUs use. If you want to RMA your motherboard to rule out the PSU, go ahead, or try another PSU to rule out the motherboard, do so, so you can find the issue easier.

It's not the psu. I just tried with my desktop's psu, the Corsair CX430M.

Okay, it's probably the motherboard then. RMA it if possible.

This is not fixable?

Check the internal headers on the motherboard, and make sure nothing is shorting the pins.

Nothing is shorting anything, I double checked.

Over current warnings only happen when there is a usb device wanting too much power, or a short, so there most likely is a short somewhere, if it isn't visible it could be in the pcb, meaning that the board is dead.

Okay, so I checked and one of the usb 'blocks' (two ports on top of each other) is dead. What to do?

RMA it. If they're legitimately dead then that's the source of the problem.
