Two issues with my Asus P5E-VM DO with a Q9400 Processor

[sirgilmour]

1- I can't boot from usb drives

2- When i put the pc to sleep after a few minutes the light on the motherboard shuts off and there is no way to wake it back pressing keys, the only option is the power button and it reboots.

I had a problem in the past when one of the two were true...

- Driver missing for power management

- System RAM had an issue

Maybe the info here might help... I'd go in and check to see what its set to. http://www.pcworld.com/article/256309/tweeking_windows_7s_sleeping_habits.html

You may wanna also check your power settings in the BIOS...
Personally i don't use any Win power features since they pretty much don't work well...
