Hello, I got the problem from the title above. Ok, to get a couple of thins straight, the PC I am building is brand new with first hand parts, I took good care of how to assemble it in order to not brake anything by accident. The thing is when I try to start it up, I get the message "Over current have been detected on your USB devices" and that it will shut down the PC in 15 seconds. I tried everything, disconected anything I had in the USB's ( mouse and keyboard), disconected the front USB's from the case, nothing works. Just a small thing to add up, it actually works to keep my computer open but If I plug my video card in her slot, than I get this error. Pls don't tell me my mother board is broken... is brand new and paid a decent amount of money for it... The motherboard is a MSI b450 Gaming Plus, the PSU is Gamdias Astrape M1 650B, 80+ Bronze, 650W

P.S: I checked to see if the USB's have physical and they seem to look fine... note that I only get the error when I put the GPU in her slot and it can't be the GPU's fault because I tried with another GPU just to make shure..

Unless one of your friends and the random commenters online used high-end testing equipment, none of this is a review or even useful. Never buy a PSU unless it's either received a professional teardown-and-review or the platform it's on has been. And that will involve this:

If it doesn't, it's not a review. If you buy blind, it has to be from a brand/manufacturer with a *long* history of reputable power supplies.

I don't think is the PSU at cause... I mean it was recommended to me by one of my friends and I also tested in on another PC just in case and it worked just fine... plus I read some reviews on the internet about it and most people where saying nice things about it... hmm... I'll see if I can borrow a PSU to see if the problem persist or not

will do, plus the mobo is prety new so in the worst case scenario I will send it back to the shop along with the PSU to have the experts check it and see if something is truly wrong
 
I got this same error message when building a new machine when I had a USB port to case socket cable plugged in wrong. It was one with two ports in one cable/plug. I just had to rotate it 180* and it worked fine after that.

Also make sure you don't have the socket that attaches to the mobo misaligned by one pin right or left.

I get what you are saying but I mean... it's certified at least, there are PSU on the market that are not even certified so... but I undertand, will be more carefull next time
