Hello everyone, this is my debut post and thank you for your feedback. I recently cleaned my desktop and accidentally took everything out of the case. When I reassembled it, a warning appeared on the screen about a USB overcurrent issue. I searched online and tried several solutions, but nothing resolved the problem. I inspected all USB ports, tested the mouse and keyboard, and confirmed they were functioning correctly. I also disconnected the front panel from the motherboard and checked if the I/O shield was interfering with the ports. Additionally, I replaced the CMOS battery. Despite these efforts, the error remains. (Attached screen image) I think resetting my BIOS settings could help, though the pop-up message on the motherboard didn’t stay as long as before, and keyboard commands to enter BIOS failed during login. My computer is quite old, so I’m not sure if age affects this. I’ll share my specs below.

Hardware:
- Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-MX/BR (7 years)
- CPU: AMD FX-6300 (7 years)
- Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T20 (6 years)
- Case: Thermaltake V3 black edition - mid tower (7 years)
- Fans: 1 rear fan from Thermaltake
- SSD: 240GB Kingston (1 year old)
- GPU: Asus RX 570 Expedition (1 year)
- Power Supply: Cougar 600W 80-white (6 months)

I recently restarted the system after reassembling and ran a CPU temperature check, which showed everything normal. The issue only appeared after briefly removing cables and reattaching the side panel—something I don’t normally do. (Inside picture attached)

Thank you for your support. I’m eager to hear any advice or answers you can provide.

I previously faced an issue with the same generation and motherboard, and I just took off the front USB ports from the motherboard.

Thank you for the response. I treated it as a potential reason and cleared all connections related to the motherboard pins to simplify the issue. If the USB is the issue, then the MOBO ones are likely the cause.

I was employing an OEM case with an unusual jumper on the USB port, which caused similar issues
