Alright, so today I get up, and say "TODAY I WILL ACHIEVE 3.0GHZ!"

So, I go to remove my mismatched RAM stick, and place my dual channel RAM in the dual channel mode.

Then I plug everything back in, and boot.

It posts, so i try to get into the BIOS, but before i can, it goes to another screen saying, word for word

"WARNING!!!!! USB OVER VOLTAGE DETECTED!!!! REMOVE THE USB!!!!

SYSTEM WILL SHUTDOWN IN 20..."


Wha..?

OK, so I start yanking all the USB ports out of my computer, and the computer shuts down, so then i restart it.


Same... Error....

So, now i put back that RAM stick from hell, and reseat all of my RAM like it was the day before..

Same.... Damn.... Error.


So, what am I to do? I wouldent think trying to change RAM would do this...

EDIT: I was able to get into the BIOS, and change the options for the USB controller, i turned it off, and all USB ports are unplugged.... WTH?

Thanks, that worked.

But i seem to have found out what went wrong.

The side USB port seems to have smashed itslef in, causing a over voltage of some sort, i took out the usb connector from my MOBO, and bam it booted right up.
