im trying to figure out how to keep my usb ports on so I can charge my mp3 player and phone overnight without turning on the computer. my last mobo (M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ 970 ATX AMD Motherboard) did it without changing any settings. I am now using a asrock 990fx extreme9 and would like to be able to do this.
thank you for the help.
p.s. I have already unchecked the boxes for my usb root hub to not let the motherboard turn them off in device manager.
It would be an option in the BIOS, if the motherboard has it. I have a gigabyte motherboard with that capability and its enabled/disabled in the BIOS.
thank you for the response. the only thing usb related I see in the bios is usb phy power down enable/ disable.not sure what it is.
I went through the Specs for this motherboard on the ASRock site and USB port power is not listed anywhere.
Ok. thanks for your time. greatly appreciated.
Apparently, you didn't read far enough into your User Manual. This was at the top of page 11.
I did see that, I installed and still no go. but that is a good one. I thought that it would be the ticket, but wasn't. I haven't tried my ipod yet to see if that will charge when off yet. when I do I will post.
It did not charge the ipod. i will try the ports on the board itself later. i was using the front ports.
