Deej,
Is it possible that the USB Overcurrent pin on the ASUS motherboard USB header
is being shorted to ground? Are you using a case that has front-mounted USB
ports?
You say that this has happened on three consecutive ASUS boards so it makes
me suspect a problem elsewhere. If your case has front-mounted ports that
use wiring that is different from the ASUS "standard" (if there is such a
thing), then this may be the cause of your problem.
Please let me know and I'll try to brainstorm (I know, "Mark" & "brain" in
same post!) for another solution.
Hope this helps & happy cinco!

Thanks Rich,
I've checked the PSU.
I'm going to pare this down ot the barest of essentials. I'm using removable
drive caddies and cable extenders on the monitors, keyboard and mouse.
Then again, this is a discontinued product and though unlilely, I may just
be culling the bottom of the barrell and comiong up with faulty refurbs each
time.
Deej
Appreciate your help./

I'm not using a case at all. This computer issitting on SEN FU test
benches.. USB connections are limited to a Steinberg USB protection device,
an external USB HD case and a USB connector to a Steinberg Houston.....none
of which are even plugged in right now..

I got curious and I figured, "ya'know, if it saves me any more grief, $9.95
is a small price to pay"....... so I paid for the service and logged on to
the solution. The solution????.......there is no solution. All indicators
are that this mobo is a POS. I guess it was worth $9.95 to have an *expert*
tell me what I already suspected because he couldn't figure it out either.

Dave,
I'm going to try this, but reverting to an earlier BIOs version may be a
step backwards in other areas of compatibility because I'm using a dual core
CPU.
Here's what the "experts" had to say about this issue on the Experts
Exchange forum I paid $10.00 to subscribe to:
____________________________________________________
OK here it is, I start up the computer only to have it hang with the
message " USB Device Over Current Status Detected!!", before loading
Windows, everything seems fine in the POST. Now I have not seen this since
Windows 95. Can't find a solution on the web so i thought I would challenge
you guys (the pros).
I have cleared the CMOS and that has worked. I have unplugged all USB
devices, but I can not get windows to load to take it away. I can not even
get into the BIOS. The floppy is set to 1st boot and it will not bnoot to
DOS, also have tried the Install CD, no luck.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!! anyone out there any ideas would be helpful.
In Addition to the above I have torn down the build and rebuilt it from the
ground up to see what the problem is piece by piece. Each time I think I
have it it gives me the same error message before windows loads " USB Over
Current Status Detected, Computer will shut down in 15 seconds". at which
point it does and I have to clear the CMOS to get it to run again. One
thing that is very strange and may have no Bering on this is it seems to run
fine and then I close the case (ThermalTake Tai Chi, with water cooling) and
the message reappears.
Again help would be appreciated.
Here are the specs:
ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe MOBO
AMD X2 4800
Corsair XMS 3500LL pro 1024 x4
PC Power and cooling 850
WD Raptor 74 x2
x-fi sound card
Help please, I am stumped as to what to do

If you cannot get into the BIOS and resetting it with the motherboard jumper
doesn't change anything, I would say you have a serious problem with your
motherboard. You should always be able to perform these two operations, and
a defective motherboard is what would prevent it. The only other thing I
can suggest is to strip it down to the minimum of motherboard, cpu, video
card, and RAM, in case another component is interfering with the process.
If you are using SLI, try it in single configuration and insert any
placeholder cards that may be necessary for such operation.

Thanks, that is my suspicion also (bad motherboard), However, and my
apologies for not being to clear on this, I can get it to work for a while.
Here is the process.
Unplug computer and push and hold on/off switch for 5-6 seconds
remove battery on MOBO and clear CMOS (reverts to the most updated BIOS Asus
has out for the A8N32 SLI DELUXE.
After placing Jumper back in normal position have to wait at least 5-10
minutes (if I follow Manufacturer spec and immediately replace Battery I get
the Message again).
After 10 Minutes I replace battery (leave case open) and start
This seems to work every time and after resetting the clock I have no
problems for a while. Then I plug something in or close the case and bam!!!
I get hit with the message.
This does not seem to be in any way related to Windows XP PRO sp2 as it
happens before windows loads. I have seen on the net that this "over
current" situation is a protection for the circuitry. Just seems a stupid
thing to do each and every time it happens to have to clear the CMOS.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance
cheers

It sounds like you are performing a CMOS reset each time. Is your power
supply ok? Have you tried a different one, in case there's something wrong
with it? It could also be a short of your motherboard against the case,
with the motherboard being flexed when you connect something or close the
case.

I'm assuming that the obvious issue of having a device plugged into your USB
port is NOT the problem here. Right? If your system is doing with with
_nothing_ plugged into any USB port, then there is undoubtedly a fault on
your motherboard. Replace it...

Okay it looks like it was a short of some kind between the MOBO and the
mounting plate that is in the case. My solution, for what it is worth. I
placed 3 nylon washers between the MOBO and the plate around the each and
every screw (9). Since this has been a transient issue I will not know if
it worked for good for a few days (just to be safe). But I am sending this
via the "Hell beast". We shall see, I did not even think of that as a
possibility, Thank You.
I will keep you posted.
PS; This is the longest it has stayed up and running (with many restarts)
as it has in the past.
________________________________________________
I can assure you my issue is not between the mobo and mounting plate as the
mobo is sitting on a non-conductive rubber pad.
I just pulled my keyboard and mouse off their extenders. No difference. I'm
getting ready to lose the removable HD caddies and try it again. Then I'm
going to start testing RAM, though I know this is a long shot, but WTF else
have I got to do with my time.......right????
Well actually..........I have located and purchased a Gigabyte GA-K8NS
Ultra-939 mobo. I have it on good authority that this is the only other AGP
based mobo that works with multiple UAD-1 cards. Also, it looks to be about
twice the mobo the ASUS A8V is in terms of onboard features. It's got a
Silcon Image SATA controller instead of the Promise POS that comes with the
ASUS board. I've been wanting to run a couple of 74G Raptors in RAID 0 so
that feature, in itself, is worth the grief of switching over.
This ASUS mobo has been a really disappointing experience that has been prob
lematic, on and off, since the Christmas holidays. It was hard to achieve
stability with this mobo and once I got a stable configuration, I got
crackling in the audio so I was very limited in the use of the UAD-1
resources which is a must for the way I want to work.
I'm going to get this DAW to work somehow, or die trying. In the meantime,
my old Paris rig hums along like a champ running Win ME on the old ASUS
A7V8x with 2 x Matrox G450's pushing 4 x CRT's.

That's mighty friggin' annoying, but I always suspected that of that experts
group thingy. Never did fork out the cash, and now I'm glad. How on earth
can they claim to be justified in charging you for something like that when
they have no solution?!?!
The thing is that it was so clearly your fault that the guy had, and $10
was a small price to pay if it actually did solve it... was worth the gamble.
Cheers,
Kim.

If you grab one of those gigabyte boards, be careful once again with BIOS
revisions. I'm using an old BIOS flash because the newer ones offer considerably
less features in terms of setting IRQ's.
On the other hand the older BIOS version I use wont run a dual core processor.
You win some, you lose some.
Let me know how you go if you go this way. I'll be interested in what you
get running. I have only played around a little with mine. I had some issue
with the BIOS on mine not booting properly... about every third boot it
would forget where the OS HDD was, and you'd have to tell the BIOS again...
I've temporarily fixed this by running off the second BIOS using the dual
BIOS utility. When I can be bothered I'll reflash the first BIOS to see if
it makes a difference, otherwise this MB will have to go back, which is annoying,
as I've already swapped it over twice. Bad luck I guess.
Cheers,
Kim.

Thanks Dave,
I'm thinking of just throwing in the towel, sending Chris Ludwig all of my
stuff and getting him to build and configure this thing. I like building my
own computers because if something goes wrong, I know how to fix it, but the
dance I'm doing here with 3 x RME PCI cards, 4 x UAD-1 cards, a 13 slot
Magma, 4G of RAM just seems to be like walking the razor's edge as far as
system resource allocation and driver interaction. One glitch and the whole
house of cards comes tumbling down. I can always go back and look at the way
it was done once I have something here that works reliably. I've had a bit
of slack time over the last few weeks, but my producer/associate is
returning from Hawaii on May 26th and we've got a lot of stuff lined up. I
need to be up and running PDQ.

BTW....I'm using v1017 which specifically states that one of the features is
the "Add warning for USB overcurrent situation"
The previous version, 1014 doesn't have this warning. I'm wondering what
I've got to lose by reverting to the earlier bios and just seeing if it will
work. I'm actually thinking that there is not a friggin thing wrong with my
gear, just that for some reason this is a defect in the bios.
I have DL'ed it and I may give it a try.
What do you think?

I'd be on that bandwagon quicker than you can say "Gee, that fixed it". ;o)

I would seriously take a shot at it... you are demanding
quite a bit from your system, but it should still at least
boot! ;-)
Let us know what happens once you've "dumbed down" the bios.

My Asus A8V DeLuxe are working like a charm here with a dual core 3800+ CPU.
But I've had problems with the digital out on an ATI graphiccard that gave a
real blackout when starting up. Couldn't get into bios at all, since the
monitor was totally black untill WinXP showed up. Then I tried the analog
out on the AGP graphiccard and it started up the normal way. Not as good to
look at but it's working.

Deej, I'm using 1017. I see that there's a new revision out, 1018. Have you

out of new updates if things are working correct ;o)
