[QUOTE="P.Niem, post: 268162, member: 64879"] My previous HTPC was a AMD 2500+ with a ASUS mother board with VIA chipset. I had the same weird behavior. I search the internet many times and saw that there were many people with the same problem. The problem here might be caused by the VIA chipset. There are some known hardware issues regarding USB in VIA chipset. I've tried almost everything. First solution was to run a batch file at resume that reinitialised the USB devices, but then there was a problem to disconnect. Finally I made a home brew piece of hardware with a 4 contact relay. The MCE remote receiver was connected via this relay with the USB port. As soon as my HTPC woke up from S3. The relay was switched on and disconnected the MCE remote receiver from its USB port. Six seconds later the relay was switched off again and this causes the a reconnection of the MCE remote to its USB port. Windows reacts on it by 2 time the Ding Dong and after that I could use my remote again. Not a very nice solution, but it works. My AMD HTPC wasn't that stable (there were more issues) and finally I decided to buy another mother board with a Intel duo and Intel chipset. Since then I have no trouble at all with USB. This is also a Asus mobo and I haven't got any stand-by issues. [/QUOTE]
