It is looking like my motherboard PCI-E slot is damaged. I have an MSI B450 gaming plus max and when powering up I get the error of over power to one of your USB devices, powering down to protect your m'board. Switching everything out the only thing causing this is the graphics card. I have tried an older card and the same happens. Tested the old graphics card on another pc and that is fine. So it is looking like the m'board. I am now trying to use the onboard graphics until I can replace the m'board. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work. So. Far, I have removed the battery to hopefully reset the bios to default, and also flashed the bios to the latest. Still no luck. I would have hoped that the bios would as default use the onboard rather than graphics card. Any suggestions of how to at least get my pc working? I would like to upgrade the m'board to a newer one and not just replace like for like, but need to identify my CPU before for compatibility of any upgrades.
