    I have a usb 2 card reader with extra three usb ports and fan to cool my lap top which it worked OK all the time and the strange thing is the power still going through to the fan and it's working OK apart from the usb and the  card readers ....... cant remember what i was doing but I notice the message USB over loaded .

    usb ports can only supply a limited amount of power, 2.25 Watts, so any combination of devices which draws total power in excess of that via one port will cause problems.
