I am getting this error message

I am getting this error message about a usb that is drawing too much power from my Air, the think is that nothing is connected to the Air , neither a USB or anything that can draw power from the computer . I have Attached a screen shot from the Error Message .. It is very strange as (i repeat) i have no USB connected or any other device !

If Linc's recommendation to reset the SMC does not resolve the issue then it's most likely a hardware issue with the machine's logic board. Another scenario I've seen sometimes make the error message go away (and stay away) is to plug a non-bus powered USB peripheral into one of the ports and restart the computer.


If you've only got bus powered devices/peripherals that'd work too (certainly wouldn't hurt anything). I've seen a few Macs throw that error message out, when nothing is connected, and rectify the issue automatically after the presence of an A/C powered device was connected.


Otherwise, if that too does not resolve the issue, the Genius Bar / Authorized Service Provider is a good next move for additional triage.
