USB Device over current detected! HELP?

Every time I turn on my HP computer, this message "USB device over current detected! Please remove over current device! System will shut down in 18 seconds" what should I do? I tried removing all the plugs that were plugged into the USB ports however that message still appeared on my screen at startup? Help? Thanks in advance :)
