How to fix USB Device Over Current Status Detected error?
The text of this error can be translated as "USB device with high current consumption detected" After this message appears, the computer reboots after 15 seconds. This problem is typical for ASUS motherboards. How to fix this error and boot system? It is logical that if an error appears related to USB devices, then you need to pay attention to all devices connected through these ports.
1. Disconnect all USB devices from the system unit, such as a pointing device (mouse), keyboard, printers, headphones, external hard drives, flash drives, etc. Usually this should help. If the error disappears and the computer boots in normal mode, then all that remains is to find out which of the USB devices is faulty. It could be a broken wire or a shorted device. In this case, replacing it with a new one will help. If inspection of all devices does not help to identify the faulty one, then connect them in series, restarting the PC.
2. if you have disconnected all devices, but the PC still does not start due to this error, then check the USB ports in the system unit themselves. Perhaps their work is interfered with by broken parts, other objects, or even dust. In this case, it is necessary to remove foreign objects or clean the system unit from dust, namely ports. To do this, all you need is a compressed air cylinder, a vacuum cleaner, or removing the cover of the system unit.
3. If both steps fail, try disabling the USB ports on the front panel. Often this step solves the problem, but from now on you won’t be able to use them. Here you will have to use the physical disconnection of USB by removing the cover of the system unit. Look at which cable goes to the front ports and disconnect it. In rare cases, this solution may not help. It is best to contact a service center, and this information will definitely help knowledgeable users:
• BIOS reset, which is carried out in BIOS settings;
• checking the power management jumper USBPWR - without it, the computer notifies the user of the USB Device Over Current Status Detected error;
• the resistor of one of the ports is faulty.
