USB Device Over Current Status Detected!!
System will shut down after 15 seconds.

This is a 14 months old Asus Essention Series computer desktop. It has an Intel Core I5-3340S processor @ 2.80 ghz, 4gb DDR3 RAM, and an Asus P8H61-M PRO/CM6630-8/DP_MB. As you can see upon pressing the turn on button, It does not want to boot up, and displays the following message:

USB Device Over Current Status Detected!!
System will shut down after 15 seconds.

Safety and disclaimer first! Any computer repair involves a certain risk to yourself and or your computer. Seek professional or other help if you are not confident. I will not be responsible for any damage you may cause to yourself or your computer, do at your own risk.

Now the Disclaimer out of the way! Let’s heal your pc!

Here’s how to fix

Make sure your desktop is completely switched off and unplugged from the electrical socket. Go ahead and pop open the bonet, i.e the side panel. Use an anti static wrist strap or touch the case before each time you touch the inside of the computer to discharge any static electricity.

In this case it is due to a short of one of the USB ports from the front panel, which is connected via a USB cable to a USB header connector on the motherboard.

Indeed upon closer inspection I did finally notice that one of the USB port was damaged, the little black tab was missing, as shown in the picture. My guess is the client may have inserted a dodgy USB stick which broke it, or upon insertion or removal of the USB stick it broke and caused a short.

So there you go, I simply disconnected the USB cable from the header, plug the power cable, and turn the computer back on, and Voila! Fixed! The client will probably not be able to use that front USB port, and a replacement is unwanted at his time, there are plenty of back USB ports for the job.
