Edit to the issue: after several attempts I’ve verified the posibility +5vsb was not operative and so it is. Jumpers are correctly shorted but +5vsb power doesn’t work although I can enter and resume from standby by PS2 keyboard.

I’m disappointed because I fixed the same problem which sometimes occurr again and so I’m very disappointed also with myself becaus I would like to know the cause to be able to fix it.

230: you are lucky. It is a small price if you get your computer to hibernate.

I’ve solved several times this problem and I’ve shorted the right pin on my motherboard so to have +5vsb. Must be a sort of issue occuring during installation step of OS or some USB drivers mistake. The difference is that enabling USB power function to restart pc fun and light works, on opposite when I disabling them all pc go to stand-by regularly. Could it happen for PSU cable?

230.:
I think it is normal that USB ports be disabled, including their DC power output when the computer is hibernating (or on stand-by). This can also be set in the BIOS menu so that you do not need to access the device manager before going to hibernate. The Ethernet port should also be disabled, otherwise the computer may be taken out from hibernation often and without need to.

It’s horrible, now I can use stand-by only disabling USB energy features from Device manager.

Thanx for the article.
If you examin problems with automatic hibernation, try to deinstall the Java(TM) 6 Update oder Java Web Start. The process jqs.exe prevent my PC to go to standby.

I have to give a big thanks to Tom for this brilliant article on a widespread yet under-documented problem. In my long, LONG quest to solve my screensaver/standby mode problems, this has been the only page to be of any value whatsoever, and while I didn’t find a solution here directly, the information here put me on a short path to discover a program called the ‘MCE Standby Tool’. It’s a free download from http://slicksolutions.eu/ and after some tinkering with the settings it finally was able to fix the problem (disabling ‘selective USB suspend’, whatever that is).
