USB device over current status detected

The board shuts down to protect a USB port

What it means

A USB port drew more current than allowed, so the board stopped the whole system instead of burning the port.

Common causes

How to fix it

  1. Unplug every USB device and cable, then start the PC.
  2. Inspect each port with a light for bent pins or debris.
  3. Disconnect the front-panel USB header from the board and test the rear ports only.
  4. If the warning returns with nothing plugged in, the board needs service.
