Can I suspend USB power when going into standby?

My Gateway 901x doesn't have the most space around it, it tends to get
warm, too warm. I bought a couple of external fans that plug directly
into USB for power and they cool my computer like a treat. When I put
the system into standby (S3) I was surprised to find the fans still
happily running. Hmm.


I looked in power options, nothing.
I tried turning off all devices ability to wake from standby (USB
keyboard and mouse) didn't help.
I looked in the BIOS, nothing apparent there.


Can anyone give me any ideas of how to make the fans come on and off as

the computer goes into and out of standby. I think that basically means

somehow turning the USB power on and off.


Anyone got any ideas?


Thanks.

I'll do what the hell I want. Thanks for the help... Go worry about
world poverty or something else.

Tick is the local troll, ignore her. She is right, it's her demeanor that
blows. However, a little advice, don't rag on anyone until you get an answer
to your question, most of the locals will avoid you(not all). and cross
posting is preferable.
Good luck.

Please do *NOT* multipost. If you must post to more than one group,
cross-post.

That's is frowned upon, much like posting info concerning Mac's to an XP
newsgroup, right hypocrite?

It's hardly life or death, I'm not going to bow down to some ridiculous
culture. Maybe I need to go to finidhing school.

In the device manager expand Universal Serial Bus Controller, right click on
USB Root Hub, select properties, select power management. Your option is in
there.
