This message has shut me down on three consecutive ASUS A8V obo's. I have no
USB devices attached to the system. I have only an
AGP video card in the system. I have tried swapping the video card thinking
that it might be defective. I have tried substuting a PCI video card
thinking that the AGP slot might be an issue. I have tried using a different
PSU. I have cleared the CMOS and rebooted, reset the clock and then allowed
the system to try to post, no luck. Could defective fans on removable drive
caddies cause something like this?
I'm running out of suspects. What about RAM? If so, WTF would this have to
do with over current on the USB port?
Clearing the CMOS will let me enter the BIOS. After I reset everything, I
get the over current message and after that, I am unable to enter the BIOS
again without clearing the CMOS again.
I'm getting ready to use this POS for dropkick practice.
