This is sort of weird, but whenever I place my computer on stand by, my RAZER Diamondback mouse remains on. So my computer is on standby but my mouse is on..... I click a button on my mouse but nothing happens... weird. On my sony vaio PC, when I place it on standby, everything powers down and I can resume by clicking on the mouse.

Okay, so here's the weird part. When I have my external HD turned on and connected to my PC and I place my computer on standby, the mouse powers down, but my External HD stays on (i can tell because i have it connected w/ a lighted USB cable). So, im guessing whatever takes the most power, my computer will make that the priority... or something like that. I also tried this w/ my printer, but my mouse stayed on when my computer was placed on standby.

I have it all config'd in the BIOS, to have everything power down on standby, but I guess my comp isnt listening. I've been going around and unplugging the USB for my mouse because I cant sleep when my room is bathed in red light.

So, do you guys know of any solution? Besides the fact that this problem is really annoying me... I think its also damaging the USB port for my mouse. Its getting a little lose and i'd like to get this problem fixed right away.

Please help, because no one has been able to fix this problem of mine yet.

Thanks
