Subject: Z170 OC - Disable USB while the PC is Off
Posted: 19 May 2016 at 1:52pm
Xaltar was not referring to the CPU power saving option C6, you can enable both of those again.
I believe he was referring to the S5 power state. Configure that in the Chipset Configuration screen, Deep Sleep option, which is set to Disabled by default. There should be an S5 only setting.
I'm not sure if that will work for you, if it does I'd like to know.
I'm curious about your USB device recognition problems caused by the constantly applied power. Do you think that is caused by the USB devices not being tested during POST, or some other reason?
