USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds

[Sixx_Foxx]

???? Motherboard??? How to fix or over ride a USB port? I just do not know and feel hopelessly lost....

Last night my daughter was playing a video game & all of a sudden the PC stated " USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds". We rushed out to a retail store & bought a can of air. I blew out all of the dust & some how it came back to life. I turned off & on several times before starting this USB problem again. Working on it a bit nothing came up but a black screen then it shut down. Now, we are back to the same problem (" USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds")

I have an ASUS motherboared. (IDK what kind the ex-husband took off w/ everything I had) there was a warning stating to go to www.jmicron.com I am like & how do I even get there when it won't stay started?

I do not know what to do and when your as poor as we are now that damn pc is the only entertainment I can provide for my kids since we live in a questionable area where not only are there no PC's in ppls homes but no repair shops.

I'd be very thankful for any help you guys/gals could offer.

First of all, I need to know a little bit more about the situation in general.

Are you posting this from a phone?

If you can get the computer to stay on for any length of time, what is about the longest it will stay on for?

Also, what things do you have plugged in that use USB? The things I mean should have connectors like this:

I am posting from my laptop. (My cell is turned off. Welcome to being a single mom.)

The only thing plugged into one of the 8 usb ports (6 in the back) is one mouse (razer gamin)

I feel the broken port is in the front where there are 2 USB ports. My noob skills say they are connected to the intake cooling fan.


The pc shuts down in 15 seconds so I am stuck here. I am broke but stupid enough to wait n buy a new cooling fan or motherbored if needed but that wont happen for several months.

Yes, the usb connections look like that. The mouse is a Razer Lachesis. http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.207541300

The white plastic part on the front usb drive is missing the white plastic piece due to my 5 yr old pluggin' in those damn BestBuy gift card USB X-MAS lights. After the series of problems happened.



I am trying this on my own w/ your sites help in hopes I am blessed for a few more months so my almost 16 yr old daughter has something to do this summer. We live in a bad area. lmao I have great kids n I think gaming kept 'em all out of trouble.


I VERY, VERY much appreciate any advice you can give me.

What happens if you just take the mouse out and try to turn the computer on?

It almost sounds like your front USB ports are now mangled and possibly the contacts are touching each other causing overcurrent.


If you could take a picture of the front of your case as well as the inside - i'm sure we could help you disconnect the front USB ports so you can at least use your computer.

 

[Raiddinn]

Shouldn't be that difficult to pull off that test either.

Just have to look for something on the motherboard on the side closest to the bottom of the case that has USB written over or under it and cables leading to the front and disconnect that set of cables.

Just make sure the computer is off and unplugged from the wall when doing this.

Make sure that is the case when doing anything related to computers ever.

How did you know that? Thank you tomshardware!

FIXED - Detached front-usb lead from motherboard and problem solved as front usb had mangled connector.

Thanks all

I have unplug all usb devices. But 'USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds' still appear after post. Is it my usb on the board is the problem. How to disconnect them.

 

[rjkrebs]

That fixed the issue for me as well, thanks all!

One of the USB ports' pins were physically damaged causing this problem. Fixed it by straightening the pins again. See http://expertcomputing.co.uk/error-usb-device-current-status-detected-system-will-shut-15-seconds-asus-motherboard-solved/

 

[Marco_pirela]

I have the same issue, I found the damage port, I have an Asus x79 deluxe motherboard and the port of the problem is the USB BIOS FLASHBACK, what can I do?

 

[G54bstore]

Look for mangled USB ports ..fixed my problem.

Worked for me, too. Front chassis USB hadn't been working for a while, anyways.

 

[tonyjay44]

Me, too. was the front usb ports. I simply disconnected and use the back ones now. Basically, the dust bunnies caught up w/ me. 5 years on the floor in a Chicago suburb basement - hehe - I'm grateful that's the only thing that's caught up to me so far (knocking on wood as I type).

 

[WarrenFarao]

I have had the same situation twice now with the ASUS motherboards.

What i have done is disconnect the front USB plug from the motherboard and it solve the issue.

so see if the USB's in the front are not damaged in anyway.

try this unplug your usb port on your mobo check this link http://windowsdevcenter.com/windows/2005/02/23/graphics/figure14.jpg then try to turn on your pc.. also check other usb ports if there's unsual things like dirt or something on cables.. im sure its in front usb port jst unplug and replace it from other spare pc parts. good lck

I got this error message due to a rear USB port. I had a printer cable plugged into it, and somehow it got ripped out, taking the black piece in the port with it. My front ports work when they want to, so I just unplugged them anyway, but I'm not sure what to do with the rest one. I'm getting the same error message. please help.
