USB port disabled (Too much power consumption)

Solved

Here was, the other day I was on my computer when a message popped up saying that the USB port to which my phone charger was connected had been disabled due to excessive power consumption. I wondered why, but since the charger was a bit worn out, I just switched to another port (I have 4 on the front, two 2.0 and two 3.0).
After a few hours, the same thing happened again, and I was left with only the two 3.0 ports, and today they have just experienced the same issue. Having rebooted my computer in the meantime, which didn't fix the problem, I was wondering if there was a way to reactivate these ports directly through Windows (I'm on Windows 8), or if I would have to disconnect something inside the tower. (Desktop computer)
Thanks!

    I didn't have time to test the method, I pressed the "RESET" button on the HDD (Zalman Z11+ case)
    This "restarted" it and the ports are functional again. Thanks anyway!

    Hello
    try this:
    1- Properly shut down the PC;

    2- Unplug the power cord; wait a few seconds

    3- Press and hold the power button on the PC for at least 30 seconds;

    4- Plug the power cord back into the PC;

    5- Turn it back on.

    If it doesn't do any good, it can't do any harm.
    check the device manager to see if there’s any error message on any line
