Hello
I have an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe running P4 2.8 HT & Corsair Xtreme memory. I am using Aspire power supply, the question I have is this, I can put the PC to sleep where the CPU & stuff shuts down ( just my power light on the front of the case is blinking ) but at that point my USB is with out power too & since I am running Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard & Mouse that is wireless I am not able to wake the PC up.
Is there anything I could do to make it wake up? I tried to play with some of the USB jumpers on the mobo but that did not work.
Thanx for any kind of help.
P.S. The power button is set to ON/OFF inside the bios.

Wake-from-USB is vastly unsupported on mainboards, simply because the power requirements of everything connected to USB would have to be fed from the power supply's +5Vstandby rail. This is why keyboard/mouse poweron only works from the legacy PS/2 connection - and even that only if your mainboard has the required jumpers to put the PS/2 ports on standby power rather than main power.
