Hi,
For the past week this error message has appeared on my screen upon boot:
USB Over Current Status Detected, Computer will shut down in 15 seconds
I've been determined to solve it but it just won't go away. I cannot get my computer started at all, or even access BIOS settings. My computer specification can be found in the link in the top right, the motherboard in question is the ASUS P5K-E.
After reading forum discussions involving the same problem, I've tried nearly everything.
The remaining suggestions are;
I'm going to attempt them solutions tomorrow. I would like to know if there are any other solutions to this problem though, as I am quickly running out of ideas. Perhaps the error is not caused by a short circuit and could be something else?
Lastly, I must mention that the computer has operated without the problem for 12 months. HOWEVER; one USB port (onboard) has been unstable for around two months since I tried connecting my keyboard (instrument) to my computer. I seen a message pop up in the bottom right hand corner indicating "power surge on USB port" (or something close). When I seen that message, the mouse (usb powered) and other components would stop working until I reconnected them. The "USB Over Current Status Detected" error came about last week after I shut the computer down, but I recall that the last thing I done on my computer beforehand was inserting my 1gb memory stick into the (defective?) USB port, and seeing the "power surge on USB port" message appear.
Thank you very much if you can help,

- Disconnecting front USB panel,
- Removing all USB devices before switching on
- Resetting CMOS
- Powering up the computer with minimum components connected
- Checked for short circuit problems (spare screws/motherboard touching case...)
The remaining suggestions are;
- starting it up outside of the case
- loosening the screws that connect the motherboard to the case
