    Every time my Dell automatically goes to sleep with my powered USB hub and Logitech alto connected, I can't take it out of sleep properly.

    When I open up the laptop, it will power on, but the screen will be blank.
    Then the only way I can do anything it to power it off completely by holding the power button, and then restarting the computer.

    Anybody have a similar problem or knows the cause and solution to this?

    Uninstall and reinstall your video driver. Most of the time, a blank screen after wake up is video driver related.

    I have the Logitech Alto and have no issues.
