USB holding power after shutdown

MearWolf · 13 Jan 2012 at 10:57

Hey, I'm having a bit of a weird problem. I've got the ASUS P8Z68 Pro/Gen3 mobo and I'm getting a bit of a weird problem in that when I shutdown from windows power stays in the USB devices. I have no independently powered USB devices, please can anyone help me?

There's a setting in the BIOS options to disable this, can't remember off the top of my head what it's called. USB power or something like that. Failing that you could always switch off the PSU at the back of your computer.

It'll be AICharge or some such. I believe it can be disabled in the bios.

Cheers, I'll give it a go, I've turned it off in AISuite to see if that makes a difference too

Go to bios, 'Advanced' then Onboard Device Configuartion, look for ASMEDIA USB Battery Charging, option to enable or disable.

I normally use this function to still charge my phone after I turn PC off.

Yeah I can see how I would be useful but I've got an Antec Kuhler so I don't really want the LED staying on all night. And I've got enough USB wall chargers.

Oh yeah I had to actually go in an completely disable the Asmedia ports, restart then re-enable them to get it working properly.

Thanks for the help everyone!!!
