I've got a desktop computer and when it goes into 'sleep mode' I can't wake it. I've found out that its my USB HUB thats the problem, because when its unplugged it wakes from 'sleep' fine.
My mouse and keyboard are connected through USB ports at the back of the PC. The only things plugged into the HUB are my wireless adapter and an Infa Red reciever for my media centre remote control.
Also the USB HUB is powered my mains...
Can anyone see a clear answer as to why it wont wake?

Kind regards,
James

Does it wake using the power button?

Maybe you can unplug the USB and try to use it in the secondary USB slot.

I think I've resolved the issue oddly, I've unplugged the power but left the USB cable connecting the hub and the PC and it works fine... how odd though!
