It may. It seems you have a problem with sleep on your laptop, not just the USB ports. Try the advanced power options and see if it helps. Click the start button, type power options in the search box, click on the power options entry that appears. You should get a screen where you tell the computer when to sleep. below that click where it says change advanced power settings. You should get a screen of advanced power settings, Click on USB, then click on selective suspend and change the value to disabled. That setting allows your computer to put unused USB ports to sleep or turn them off when not in use to save power. Not turning them off may solve your problem but could affect the battery life of the laptop too. You may not be able to run as long on a battery charge as normal.
