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.

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

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

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/

This worked for me and you can do it with a mechanical pencil (carefully with lead removed) from outside the case (so you don't have to break the seal and your warranty). Very simple. I learned how to do it here http://

If you could help me too. It says the same thing but i have a really good computer so i cant really get to somr things. I would provide a picture but I don't know how. I have a razor gaming mouse and I dont know what kind of headphones. The keyboard is a gaming one and requires 2 usb plugs, im not sure what more information i can put

So here I am, with the same problem.. what do you know, one of the little metal "prongs" (I'm not I.T gifted lol) was bent & touching the other as the plastic part had broken off! THANK YOU!!!

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.

This is what I did and it worked, the first thing that I did was took some compressed air and blew out all of the dust that was at my fans. I then turned completely off my desktop and unplugged every thing except my mouse, hdmi to one of my monitors, my headphones, and my ether net. I turned it on and plugged it in and it worked!

Hope this helps....

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.

Hi, I have a desktop with Asus motherboard that presented the same problem. I read some forum comments over here in Brazil and people asked each other to enter to CMOS configuration (when you boot the computer and hold DEL or F1 key) and disable all USB ports. But my computer presented this error message before showing the option to enter to CMOS configuration. So I gave up and let the computer turned off.
After few days, I don't know why, I turned it on again and could enter to the CMOS configuration, so I put all USB ports on DISABLE status. The computer reboots with Windows normally, but no keyboard and no mouse, since all ports are disable... (Oh!). So I shut it down with power button and removed the CMOS battery (the small 2032 battery, like 25¢ coin) and put it back, that forced the CMOS to reset and enable the USB ports again. So I turned the computer on again, and... tchan!!! It worked.
I hope to have helped!
Best regards,
Bruno - Cabo Frio (RJ) - Brazil

I have the same issue with a ASUS Z170I mini atx motherboard, corsair 380T Mini ATX, that are new just got them today, and I've tried to disconnect all the case USB from the motherboard, I tried powering the pc from outside the casde, tried to take out the battery and to jump the DRAM pins to reset the settings, and still the same. I also tried to see what USB ports from my motherboard are recognized and I saw that at startup the USB 3.1 is not, is this normal on the DOS screen at the beginning? Also, even when the keyboard is recognized on the other USB ports, I can restart the PC with ctrl+alt+del but I can't access the BIOS, is there a way to do it? I'm pressing del or F2, but nothing happens
COuld it be a faulty motherboard? How can I be sure?

Thank you for your help, will be really appreciated.

I resolved this issue by disconnecting all USB devices. Plug them in one-by-one, and restart the computer after each one is plugged in. For me, the issue was a faulty speaker system. Whenever that USB cable was plugged in, the computer displayed this message. Those speakers had been sounding distorted lately, so I was not surprised.

 

[Kate_33]

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.

[zabed.mohammed]

Four piece of metal leads exists inside a usb port and if any if them are in contact to each other or metal then this error occurs. All you need to do is separated these small pieces inside port from any contact in respect to other metal materials around it. Hope this helpz

I hd the same problem with my Asus motherboard despite all my USB ports were functioning properly. The problem was related to my cmos battery but I don't know how or why, when I removed the battery the computer would boot up without displaying the error message, however each time you turn on your computer your bios settings will return to default but at least now I am able to use my computer.
