[SOLVED] Power Surge on the USB Port [Windows 10, DIY 1185G7]

I forgot to update here, BIOS update worked. Also, I got a message back from Framework Support, a reset of the mainboard is known to fix the issue. The instructions I got from them:

Our apologies for the issues.

We’ve seen this occur in rare instances, but it should be resolvable by doing a full reset of the mainboard. You can do that by following the steps below:

  1. Plug the power into the laptop and keep it plugged in for at least one hour.
  2. Unplug power.
  3. Open the system following the guide here. If the LEDs are blinking red at this point, make sure to wait until they turn off.
  4. Carefully pop out the RTC battery (the coin cell) with a pin following the steps here (the holder is pretty fragile, so definitely follow the method in the image).
  5. Wait 15 minutes, and then carefully re-insert the RTC battery.
  6. Close up the system, following the guide.
  7. Plug in power and press the power button.
