power surge on hub port

I have purchased a new Palm Centro to replace one I've been using for years. When I connect the new one to my computer for a hotsync, as I had always done with my old one, I get a message on the computer that says "Power Surge on Hub Port", which also then disables my mouse, and no sync'ing takes place.
