Strange computer issue...

Desktop PC, came down this morning, and noticed it was off. Hit the power button. On the first screen of the BIOS a message comes up which says something to the effect of "USB device over-current detected. System will shut down in 15 seconds." And then it shots down.

The only USB devices that have ever been connected to the computer are a webcam, and a wireless keyboard/mouse combo. Naturally, my first instinct was to disconnect them, but it didn't make any difference.

Any suggestions?

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You need to buy more GB's and 56k's.

Sometimes stuff connected to the motherboard IDs as USB for ease of driver installation. Try opening it up and unplugging stuff.
