Plugging in USB hub shuts down my computer...

keatonskills · Jan 31, 2016

Having a problem with my USB on my motherboard. i have a USB hub for my computer but whenever i plug it in my computer shuts off. but when i un plug it it turns back on. Almost as if plugging in the usb hub over powers the mother board or something. I have the usual stuff already plugged in back there like keyboard, mouse headset camera etc. but they work fine.Was hoping someone could help me out! Thanks!!

Is it a powered hub?

Paul NZ :

Its only powered By usb 3.0 no external power or nothin. Heres the HUB link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014OS45OK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

Something I would say is drawing too much power, could be that headset camera

Do you use any of those USB charger programs?

If it shuts down your PC when there is no other device attached to it, then there is likely a short in the hub. Hubs are cheap, and you risk your MB if there is a short. I'd just get a new hub.

If you want to be sure the hub is bad plug it into a different computer and see how it behaves. Or use a simple multi-meter / continuity tester and the USB pinout to see if there is any current leakage where there shouldn't be.

nope. i did have some MSI SuperCharger program but i never ran it. But Drawing too much power sounds right though.

Try removing that camera, then see if it shuts down, when you plug something in

Or if youre using that much cable for the hub, remove the extension

If that doesnt work, remove the hub plug them in separately see if it shuts down. Could be a prob with that hub
