Turns off after 15 seconds. The computer turns on and off itself
When asked, the camp turns off after 15 seconds when loading. given by the author Igor is a local the best answer is Quote: Originally posted by Napster
Probably the question is not here, I’ve been here recently, if the question is not here, then tell me where, after turning on the computer, the equipment check is carried out and errors appear - cmos settings wrong (pulling out the battery does not help) and usb device over current status detected!! system will shut down after 15 seconds.
Even when checking the equipment, the computer sees 2 mice. although one is included. when I pull it out I still see some kind of mouse
Recently they brought the mother's room in for repair. ASUS board P5PE-VM. When loading it says: USB Device Over Current Status Detected!! System Will Shut Down After 15 Seconds and turns off. Can't get into the BIOS. I have no idea what they did with her before we met...
I haven’t found anything useful on the Internet, although the problem seems to be quite common. After I reset the BIOS, poked the battery back and forth and flashed the BIOS three times, using a scientific method - connecting a USB device (in my case an MSI player) to each connector in turn - I found out that the device does not work in 5-6 ports. Upon closer examination of the board on the front side in the area of the battery, I found two overheated tracks, one in a break. Using a soldering iron, a medical needle, swear words and a piece of thin wire, I restored the road. The board has started. Naturally, you can forget about connecting the front panel USB ports, but in general the result is positive. I can only guess about the reasons for the trouble - most likely, crooked equipment or a factory serial jamb was connected. In general, pay attention to the indicated paths, maybe it will help someone... I took a photo on my phone, but for some reason I can’t attach it.

Most likely there is a problem with the motherboard, look at the connectors, the ones behind the stone, there are usually 5 of them, if they are swollen, then you need to change them, such a canoe usually happens.
The asking price is a maximum of half a piece.

Problem: I turn on the computer and it quits USB recording device over current status detected computer shut down over 15 sec, what does this mean? Translated, it roughly sounds like “Discovered USB device with high current consumption, the system will reboot after 15 seconds."

They brought the system unit with the same problem. Disconnected the USB cables from the case. Everything started
The performance of a computer depends on the operation of many components included in the system unit, therefore, when malfunctions occur, it is not always possible to immediately determine which part has failed. A particularly difficult reason to identify why a computer refuses to function is when it breaks down when The computer turns on and then turns off spontaneously after a few seconds.
Why this happens and what to do when the system manager does not want to start will be described in detail below.
Possible causes of malfunction
If the computer refuses to boot, the following malfunctions can often be the cause of this behavior:
- The power supply has failed.
- Short circuit.
- Overheat.
The last reason most often manifests itself when the processor cooler is faulty, overheating of which, in this case, can be caused during a short period of operation without cooling.
Sometimes the system unit shuts down after a few minutes of running the computer with a faulty fan.
A failed power supply can also cause the system unit to turn off when it starts up. A short circuit can be caused by various metal objects that could be on the computer board. In this case, the permanent protection of sensitive electronics will be activated and the power supply to the closed circuit section will be interrupted. If you continue to try to start the computer, the protection will work again and you will not be able to start the computer.
Troubleshooting methods
To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to make a correct “diagnosis”.
If the system unit turns on and after 15 seconds spontaneously turns off due to overheating, then you need to start diagnosing the cooling system by visually identifying the malfunction. To do this, just remove side cover computer and make sure that the cooler fan starts working immediately after turning on the system unit. If this does not happen, then it is necessary to replace the fan, or eliminate the connection fault of this part.
If the problem of turning off the system unit occurs when restarted after prolonged operation, then with a working cooler, but a significant dust deposit on the radiator fins, overheating can be caused by significant contamination of the heat sink surface. In this case, the problem can be solved by thoroughly cleaning the cooler from dust.
In some cases, when the fan is working, overheating can be caused by the complete drying of the thermal conductive paste between the surface of the processor and the plane of the cooler radiator. In this case, you need to apply a new layer of paste, and the computer will no longer turn off at startup.
It is much more difficult to determine the exact malfunction of the computer power supply. If the system unit turns off after several seconds of operation, then the most the right option checking this part, it will be replaced with a known good unit. If this is not possible, then you should disconnect all the wires coming from the system unit and, using a tester, measure the voltage in each wire, including establishing the absence of a break in the “ground” that is connected to the computer’s hard drives. This process is the longest, but allows you to accurately determine the malfunction of a pulsed current source. The tester must measure the voltage and current of all pairs of wires coming from the power supply.
Searching for closed areas can be quite long and may take some time. If short circuit caused by a small object, the simplest method of removing a small metal object can be accomplished through a complete internal cleaning.
If after cleaning the problem recurs again, then the short circuit should be looked for in those places where soldering or wire connections were recently carried out.
Conclusion
If the system unit turns off on its own after being turned on, then to identify the problem, you can invite a computer specialist who can use special program for diagnosing various computer systems, including those working at the base operating system Windows 7. Typically, such diagnostic methods allow you to identify a malfunction in 2 seconds.
A novice user complained that after purchasing a used laptop, it eventually began to work incorrectly and display “ Blue screen death." Ultimately exploitation personal computer stopped at the next launch, which displayed an error text with the following content:
USB Device Over Current Status Detected! System Will Shut Down After 15 Seconds
Well, as it becomes clear from the inscription, the computer turns off after the allotted time of 15 seconds. In general, the error text indicates that one of the USB port s exceeds the power consumption, so the PC cannot be started and will be turned off.
As practice has shown, access to the settings was not available, and even resetting it did not produce visible results. Several attempts to find more or less logical solutions to the problem led to nothing.
As it turned out, the whole point was damage to one of the USB connectors port. There was a physical violation of the integrity of the contact group, which clearly indicated a broken plastic base. Well, in connection with this, the port contacts touched the metal of the case, which caused a short circuit (which the system recognized as excess voltage consumption).
Everything was resolved by aligning the contacts. But alas, it is not advisable to use such a USB port, or to use it only for a permanent connection (for example, for a wireless module).
Instead of an afterword
This error can occur for many reasons, and the above is only a solution! So it is possible that setting it up will help, but this is if there is no physical damage. It may also turn out that you will have to remove the damaged USB port, since it is unfit for further use.
Let's consider today such a common problem as the computer turning off after some time. It sounds like this: the computer turns off 15 seconds after turning it on. Many people face this problem, since nothing lasts forever and often the equipment breaks down and needs to be replaced, but there are also software problems that can cause the computer to turn off.
So let's begin.
I don’t want to scare you, but, as a rule, such a problem indicates that there are some malfunctions in the hardware. Let's look at what is responsible for the computer's turned on state.
Of course, the power supply is responsible for turning on the computer. The power supply is the thing on the back of your system unit where the power cable is inserted. Inside this unit there is a circuit and a large fan for cooling.
Often all this fails and your computer begins to shut down. This happens because the power supply is not capable of holding voltage and providing continuous power to your entire system.
What to do?
In the best case, you need to get a working power supply and connect it to your system unit to make sure that the problem is the power supply and its failure.
Next, we remove our original power supply and disassemble it. Afterwards we carry out a visual inspection of the power supply. Pay attention to the capacitors. If you find swollen or wet capacitors, then most likely they will need to be replaced - they will need to be re-soldered.
If there are no visual problems, then most likely the breakdown is much worse. You can take the power supply to a repairman, but it is best to buy a new one, since power supplies are practically unusable for repair.
What else could be the reason for the computer turning off 15 minutes after turning it on?
It is quite possible that the problem is with the motherboard. You can also visually inspect the motherboard and make sure there are no bad capacitors, but you are unlikely to be able to do more than that, so find a good technician who can test your motherboard on special equipment.
Could there be problems not in the components, but, for example, in software? In principle, yes, they can... Try turning on your computer and going into the BIOS, preferably into the section with temperature indicators.
First, you need to leave the computer turned on and see if it turns off before loading the operating system Windows systems.
Secondly, while in the section with temperature parameters, at the same time, make sure that you do not experience overheating of the central processor.
If everything is fine, then the problem is Windows. First, unload everything unnecessary from startup, having first booted into safe mode. If all this does not help, then simply reinstall Windows.
As a rule, all of the above is enough to find the problem. Of course, there are special cases that do not lend themselves to any rules; in this case, we recommend that you contact a specialist who, in the course of his work, often encounters something similar and has experience in testing equipment for various types of breakdowns and errors.
In most cases, with similar symptoms, the problem will be in your power supply. Nothing lasts forever; power supplies often fail and need to be replaced. Replacing the power supply is not particularly expensive. It is likely that for you specifically, the problem will be in the software, so you should always approach the problem comprehensively in order to find the optimal way to resolve it.
No computer is immune to hardware problems. Many components deteriorate and become dirty over time, which then affects the entire operation of the computer as a whole. Some factors accelerate these processes, for example, working through too hot conditions, not cleaning internal components for a long time, etc. However, even if a computer (PC) has been well looked after, it is in any case not protected from the effects of time. After some time, malfunctions will inevitably begin to arise, and after that they will have to be eliminated, spending a certain number of minutes and seconds on this. But in any case, it can be restored later.
Very often when technical problems The same situation arises with the PC - it starts to spontaneously turn off on its own a few seconds/minutes after it starts. In this article we will look at why this happens and tell you what needs to be done in such cases, how problems are solved, how it is repaired later in the event of any trouble - sometimes just a few minutes are enough (seconds, however, are much less common).
The simplest reasons for disconnection
There are a couple of the most common culprits for why a computer turns on and turns off spontaneously within a few minutes/seconds. So why might this be the case with PC:
- Contamination of the internal space of the system unit - this may be the reason for the shutdown. As trivial as this may sound, this is probably the most common root cause of most problems. If the computer is not cleaned for years, then dust will settle in a huge layer on all its components: coolers, microcircuits, boards, etc. So the first thing to do if you have problems turning on the computer is to then thoroughly clean it from the inside. This will take not a few minutes and seconds, but a little more, but will greatly increase productivity. In general, preventive cleaning of the insides is recommended to be done approximately every six months.
- Another reason why your computer turns off can be RAM. Its strips and the slots themselves for connecting them can fail. Also, if the computer has been transported or carried in some way, the bar RAM could simply disconnect from the input. So first of all, check if they are well connected to the motherboard. If no violations were noticed, you can insert the RAM stick into another slot or, if you have several sticks, remove one of them and try to turn on the computer without it. Perhaps the answer to the question of why troubles arise lies in only one stick of RAM, without which the computer will start normally.
- Also, the computer can spontaneously turn off when its capacitors swell, and therefore fail. Even an inexperienced user will be able to notice their physical deformation, but he will not be able to correct it himself. If such a deformation is detected, then it is better not to do anything with your own hands. The most the best option then there will be delivery of the computer to service center or the corresponding master, it will not be difficult for them to make corrections.
Resetting BIOS settings
In some cases, restoring the default BIOS settings may help later. For example, if you yourself accidentally changed the computer configuration (after which problems with turning on began) or this happened due to some other reasons. This can be done in several ways, the first of which is much easier than the second. But it will be possible to use it only if you can call the BIOS menu. Therefore, if your computer does not turn off spontaneously immediately, but a few minutes after turning it on, then during the latter press the F2 or Del key (most often), which will entail enabling BIOS. Then on last tab“Exit” should contain the line “Load Setup Defaults” (the name may vary slightly depending on the BIOS model). Click on it, confirm the use of the command and select “Exit & Save Changes”. Then we wait for the computer to turn on to check.
and immediately turns off when it starts, not giving you the opportunity to enter the BIOS menu, then you will have to do the reset manually. It is immediately worth noting that for inexperienced users this method It can be difficult, so if you are not sure, it is better to ask someone you know to do it or contact a professional.
So, you can reset it manually through a special jumper on the motherboard. The latter is usually located next to the CMOS battery. This battery looks just like an ordinary round battery, and CMOS is a special computer chip that contains the keys to start the PC and data about its components. It is the CMOS memory that goes through zeroing when the BIOS returns to standard settings. The jumper is made in the form of 3 small plugs, the first two of which have a special “cap” on them. To return to factory settings BIOS settings, you need to remove this cap from the first two plugs and put it on the “second - third” for about 10 - 15 seconds. Then put it on the first two again. This must be done very carefully, so as not to damage the plugs themselves after this, do not rush to do this in a few seconds, it is better to spend a certain number of minutes. Also next to the plug there is usually the inscription “Clear”, “Clear CMOS”, “CLRTC”, etc.
If you have an expensive and high-quality motherboard, then there will most likely be a special button with similar inscriptions, after pressing which the settings will be automatically reset.
Malfunctions of individual components
Another reason why the computer turns off after a few minutes/seconds may be the unstable operation of one of its components. The first thing to come under suspicion is the power supply. If it cannot withstand the stress through itself, then after this, constant computer shutdowns will be a completely natural phenomenon - that’s why troubles occur. You can ask your friends or acquaintances to lend you a power supply from their computer for a while and then turn on your own car with it. If it starts normally, this will only confirm the suspect’s guilt and explain why there are problems with the computer.
Overheating of the processor or video card is also common cause turning off the computer. In such cases, switching off occurs not after a few seconds, but 5 - 10 minutes after switching on. You can check the temperature of computer parts using the AIDA64 program in the “Sensor” section. The normal temperature for a modern processor should not exceed 65 - 70 degrees (Why? Because this is already a critical maximum). If the temperature of your processor is higher, then the problem is clearly with it. For video cards, a temperature of 65 degrees is quite normal; temperatures of 90 - 100 degrees and higher will be evidence of overheating.
Overheating problems
If your processor or video card overheats, the first thing you should do is clean it. If this does not help, then you can replace the thermal paste on the chip. Thermal paste is a special substance. You can buy it at any specialized store, usually supplied inside ordinary syringes. Before applying the paste to the chip, you need to carefully clean it of traces of the previous one in itself and only then apply a thin layer of the new one, completing the procedure by installing the remaining elements of the component. It won't take many minutes and seconds. The logic “the more thermal paste, the better” does not work here. A layer of this substance that is too thick will only hinder thermal conductivity later, so there is no need to pour liters of it on yourself.
If this does not correct the situation and the problem with overheating remains, then the component should be taken to a service center.
