Hi this error has come out of nowhere and i have not the slightest clue as to what the cause is. My computer was perfectly fine last night when i shut it down but this morning when i rebooted i was greeted with the error http://puu.sh/3SSjg.png

I have tested every one of my usb ports, front and back with an external HDD to see if one of them is dead, but they are all fine. I can transfer data off all the ports too and from my HDD/PC.

I have browsed Google but non of the solutions seem to help me apart from me just out right disabling the error message from popping up. The error message is still in my system tray so there must be a problem somewhere but i have no idea.

If somebody has any clue as to wtf is going on i would be super grateful as if there is an error id rather RMA the board now whilst its in warranty than cause more damage.

The USB devices plugged into my pc are a Razer black widow ultimate keyboard, a Razer imperator 2012, a HP Printer and a 320GB external HDD.

OS: Windows 7 64bbit up to date.
MOBO: GA-Z77x-UD5H


If you need any further information i will post it up.
 
It`s just a message to say a device tried to draw more than five volt`s from the usb port.
Any device for example like an external hard drive that requires an external power adapter iin to it, will cause the error if the extra power is not connected at the time you power your system up.

You can also often get this error when for example you put the computer into sleep mode and then wake it up.

It does it on my system and requires me to shut it down again.

Make sure any extra power for any devices are connected before booting the PC.
