Title: Turn off USB-Ports
Post by: basto on October 19, 2013, 11:39:12 am

I just have a simple question:
How can I turn off the USB-Ports after shutting down my pc?
Cause my external hdd is still spinning after shutdown and its wasting energy/money...

My Board: GA-Z87-D3HP
BIOS-Version: F5

And the hdd is connected with a usb-port from the board, not the frontpanel..

First I thought I could fix the prob with the tool "On/Off Charge™ 2", but when I start it, it always says "Usbcharger Driver Not Ready!!!"

any ideas?
thx!

I know it's annoyng. The HDD will go to sleep eventually. If you want it to stop before that happens, just flick the PSU switch... also annoying.
