i have the asrock b450m hdv r4.0.

the usb port keeps my headset (MSI Immerce GH50 RGB lights on even after shut down .
to overcome this i performed below changes
  1. disabled fast startup
  2. disabled all peripherals from waking my computer
  3. and finally changed deep sleep option in bios to enabled tried S5 and S4 & S5 .
strangely after my changes on step 3 (above) , i cannot turn off my computer. everytime i attempt to shutdown, the computer keeps restarting..
i finally had to revert the changes (disable deep sleep) and then the computer doesnt restart automatically.

now what i want is to completely disable power to usb ports. is there any other worknaround?
also any idea why enabling deep sleep makes the computer restart,



thanks in advance

Have you tried moving the devices to different USB ports?

A genuine "work-around", but effective, is flip the rocker switch power button on the backside of the PSU. That's actually the safest too as it removes the line voltage from the input of the PSU so power surges can't harm it.

And as far is why the system restarts all I can say is Windows' sleep and 'fast startup' features are, and always have been, a hot mess. They may work right...for a while...then suddenly stop working. I've learned to just disable Fast Start up and disable it's 'sleep after' settings...

What BIOS version are you currently on for your motherboard? What version of Windows 10 are you on? What are the make and models of your mouse and keyboard? Which ports are they populating on the rear I/O of the motherboard? Lastly, what is the make and model of your PSU and it's age?

I always do a complete shutdown when leaving it unattended since restarting the system is fast with modern NVME drives, under 15 Sec's usually. I don't have any need for the drama that comes with constant troubleshooting it brings.

thanks, yes tried various ports. i got another respons from asrock community to try resetting cmos using the jumper.. will give that a try... guess switching off psu power would be the last resort.
