Hello, when my PC starts up, I see the alert "USB overcurrent detected – shutting down in 15 seconds to prevent damage to the main board." I discovered a faulty USB 3.0 port and am unsure if I can just disconnect it without using an extra port, especially since I have no experience fixing USB connections. Can I isolate that port on an MSI motherboard?

Send it to an electronic repair shop immediately, don’t delay.

For issues with the wiring, simply remove the header from the board. If pins are touching, gently move them apart.

Disconnect every USB port to identify the issue (As noted in the motherboard USB header details)

I tried this before but the problem keeps happening. I haven’t used my cases headers recently—just left them unplugged for a while. They seem to be cheap and keep failing. I think the issue is likely with the USB back, especially the BIOS flash port, since it keeps stopping. I’ll look for any physical damage and maybe upload a photo soon.
