I have a Gigabyte H610Mk mb in an Antec gaming case which has about 6 or more USB ports. My problem is that all ports stay open after shutdown. I've been all over the Bios trying to locate a setting that might account for this, to no avail - all the settings in the USB section are all disabled esp the ones for waking the PC via mouse/keyboard etc. The BIOS doesn't have a Power tab per se, and within the "Classic" setup tab Google mentions, I can't find the "ERP" setting that it says I need to enable. I found supposedly specific mb info but again, it talks about a Power Management section which I can't find anywhere. I have screenshots of my BIOS settings but can't find a way to upload them on here.

Anyone able to point me to an exact solution perhaps?
 
Honestly still can't find it in the Advanced section. There's Main/OC Tweaker/Advanced/Tool/HW Monitor/Security/Boot tabs only. And I've gone down each & every setting in each of those sections but presumably still missing something as there's no "settings" tab or section anywhere & defo no ERP :(
 
what is in the "advanced" tab?

this forum has no upload facility for normal users
upload your screenshots to: imgbox.com
then link the bbcode here
 
Oops - sorry - Advanced ACPI config & all the wake on devices which are ALL disabled except for RTC Alarm Power On.
 
Not sure - it just says "It is recommended to select Auto for ACPI S3 power saving" (taking this all from screenshots :) )
 
Ahh - blame my dealer - it's the mb he's put on my invoice!! Explains a LOT that does! I missed the obvious at the top every time - duhhh. Thanks SO much - hopefully finally get it sorted lol!

If youve been given a worse spec motherboard you could for some money back.
 
It's official - my last remaining brain cell has obviously gone on holiday - still can't believe I missed that when it's been staring me in the face for weeks! Oh well, sorted now thankfully. And yes, must just check I've not been shafted over the difference. Thanks again!

Now, does this forum provide to mark posts as Solved since I apparently can't edit the post title any longer?

they're both pretty basic boards i wouldn't stress about it
if anything the asrock is the superior board as it has more VRM phases...so you've got an upgrade
