USB Power Surge

[Bluto11]

so, i've had my current computer for about a year and a half. I've used the USB port for my digital camera, mp3 player, etc. my bro plugged in his iPod earlier and got a "usb power surge" ballon in the bottom right of the screen. he unplugged the device and hit "restart" on the pop up and it didn't fix it. I tried it with my digital camera and same thing. anyone got any idea on how to fix this?

directly into the computer, in the front of the tower to be exact

Well, clearly you shouldn't use that port anymore. It seems like a very bizarre thing to have happen. Do you happen to have a volt meter? That can help you determine if the problem is on only one port or something that is affecting every USB port on the computer.
