SOLVED Wireless USB adapter power down shut down problem

[c627627]

EDIT: Resolved it by connecting the case USB connector to the other USB set of pins on the motherboard.


Windows XP.

Only if this



is physically removed does Windows XP power down completely otherwise it hangs on the shut down screen indefinitely (more than 30 minutes).


Problem only happens if it's connected on the front case USB connectors. No problem if it is connected in the back to the motherboard USB connectors directly. I need it in front because the signal reception is better there.

Disabling it does not help. Computer only power downs if it is physically removed first.


I tried unchecking this in Device Manager for its USB hub but it did not resolve the problem:

That's strange, might be a long shot, but, did you try moving your USB lead to another socket on the mobo (USB1 or USB2)?

Check BIOS, maybe there's an special option somewhere.

Option for what?

When you say socket, you mean the other USB pins on the motherboard that connect the case USB to it?

*goes to try*


It totally fixed it!


Thank you.
