Thank you dude, just thank you, ok. 3 years of my HTPC running 24/7, putting wear and tear on all parts and finally at 6AM morning from night of troubleshooting I found this blog, THANKS GOD!

Oh man…
I thought my mobo died and it was this jumper… I have P5QPL-AM… And i guess all asus mobos have same thing… When in default position i.e. switched in pin 1 and 2, my pc would boot some time and sometimes wouldn’t… Now in this config its working fine.. Thank GOD… Thanks to you too man…

Searching the net numerous times in different ways I finally hit on this blog posting… eurrrrRRREKA!! A while back I bought the ASUS P5KPL-CM for upgrading my wife’s machine. It just would not go into standby, ever. I had thought there was something wrong with her XP build but when we moved all our machines to Win7 her problem persisted. -lastwake was showing it to be a USB problem but for the life of me I could not figure out how fix it.

She was turning off her monitor, a 26″ Vizio TN panel, manually & I think that may have caused it to fry. Now she has my old 26″ Vizio. The new 28″ Hanns-G replacement won’t fit on her desk so I got stuck with it. Costco actually gave me a full refund on the broken monitor & the new one came from Costco.com.

Thanks for posting the clear solution.

If anyone is interested, this jumper is called the USB device wake-up (3-pin PS2_USBPW1-8).

Thanks a lot! I have a P5KPL-E and experienced the same problem. This led me on the right track. I had to move two jumpers regarding USB wake-up and it works now.

I had the same problem…FOR A LONG TIME. I blamed Vista, but you are right. It was the motherboard.

Thanks SO much for this… I just got one of these mobos the other day and was a little perplexed that it wouldn’t sleep properly, nice one on pointing out what the issue was. Definitely didn’t think it would be Asus being stupid with a jumper. Saved me a lot of sleepless nights.
