    When i use sleep mode on my notebook and then resume, I loose my usb mouse and my external hdd, also my notebook will not shutdown without the power button being held for 5 seconds.

    I managed to find a fix for mine , it has an Intel PM45 chipset , my full spec is in my signature.

    The fix is detailed in the link below , at the bottom you have to edit the registry.

    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
    2. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidUsb
    3. Right-click HidUsb, point to New, and then click DWord Value to create the following entry:
    FastResumeDisable
    4. Double-click FastResumeDisable, type 1, and then click OK.
    5. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
