My PC tower built in 2005 has finally had issues 10years on.
The "USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds ..." on boot.
And... Shuts down and stuck there. Cannot go into bios.
* I have come across this repairing other pc's and found that removing the front panel usb/audio connectors has been a successful temporary fix (other than replacing motherboard)
But this has failed in my/this case.
* I disassembled and reassembled everything to make sure all connections were snug at first (no change,) then removed front panel connectors (both usb & audio,) also removed both dvd drives and played with ram sticks to no avail. Also switched to ps2 kb/mouse.
Other note;
At first it failed to boot most times and when it did, mouse/keyboard stopped working (wireless ps2/usb combo connectors) and a usb mouse would also not power up longer than 2secs.
Using a psu tester, found the Antec NEO HE430 had come to its end, so replaced it with an XFX XTR 650w Gold and it finally boots every time.
(Tier 1 PSU/higher wattage bought for future full upgrade)
Full spec is;
Built in 2005
PSU - XFX 650w XTR Gold
CPU - Intel P4 3.2ghz 'Prescott'
MOBO - Asus P5LD2-VM
HDD - 3.5" WD 250gb
GPU - Geforce 6800GS
RAM - 4x 1GB Kingston
Case- Antec Silent White "model uknown =P"
Dual monitor
Win XP SP3
Recent upgrade - 1xFront Corsair SP140 +1xRear Corsair AF120 Fans
Thanks,
Chris
