My nephew inserted a key into the usb port, the computer turns on for about 10s and shutsdown - and continues this cycle.

What is fried/can be/could of?

My system
Intel Core i5-3570K(never overclocked)
Gigabyte H77M-D3H
16GB Corsair Vengeance(4x4GB)
EVGA 400watt PSU Silver
TP Link Wifi Card with 3 Antennas

Im surprised this board STILL WORKS!
All I did was insert a Pentium CPU, and one stick of ram, the same one from prev setup. I tested it, whether itll boot up, and tada it did!
Worked up with RAM, and then CPU...
Running on the same Setup.

Components are in great shape, and look nothing happened.

Ran the system for more than 5hrs.

Tested RAM on Dell XPS 8700, not sure if compatible or anything but it [strike]appears to be dead[/strike] - everything getting its power from the motherboard is fried my theory.

Tested the wifi card - everything is working fine.

The ram is working - haven't tested for a long period of time, really hoping the problem is with the mother so i could send it in for RMA if i still can.

broadcom bcm20702 device cannot start - This device cannot start. (Code 10)

I tried to CMOS reset by taking out the battery same issue.
