    ASUS B85M-E BIOS MOD Disable USB Over Current Protection

    Hello, I wanted to request your help. I have an ASUS B85M-E Rev 1.02 board that throws me the error "USB Device Over Current Status Detected" "System will shut down after 15 seconds"

    I know it is a USB related problem but I went through and checked them and there is no problem. I said I am going to flash BIOS to test, and indeed the problem disappeared in the first reboot, all USB worked without problem, nothing bad happened.

    When I turned off the PC and turned it on again, the problem reappeared, I could not solve it, I DUMPed the BIOS again, and made a comparison, it had changed with respect to what I had written a moment ago.

    I attach the two BIOSes, both the original before the first boot one that worked for me, and what is generated after the first boot and that gives the problem again.

    I think this problem could happen if the "USB Device Over Current" is disabled, I wanted to know if the BIOS could be modified to disable that module, and not check the USB consumption so that this alert does not appear, or what is it what changes in the BIOS so that in the first boot it allows it, and not in the second attempt.

        [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support (by razor_amd)

        With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

        For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

        I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

        This is the picture of 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all of them being X555LD...

        ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
        by grimacelord
        Hello,

        I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

        I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

        The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

        Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

        Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo
        by throwaway327
        ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
        Model No: RC72LA
        Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

        Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

        I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

        ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
        by jbonavita
        Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
        With original bios no POST, only LED lights
        With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
        Some issues
        A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
        B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

        Things I tried

        1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...
