Make sure the right wires are tied to the USB header on the MB and the AQ.

Also, are you using a USB extender or is each USB device individually connected to the MB?

The aquaero is very sensitive to USB "noise". Check your cables and connectors for flaky connections and make sure all plugs are solidly seated.
Also, do NOT connect your USB or aquabus cables with the system powered up. At best you may have to delete the profiles in aquasuite and at worst...

I'm using a NZXT USB extender as I only have one MB USB header unfortunately and have no issues with the extender fully used with the AQ 6 XT.

Nonetheless, glad its working out for you.

Problem finally not fixed
Everything is well connected and solidly seated / No USB extender.
Really weird...

Though I am way out of my league here, I will espouse two thoughts...

1. Is the USB cable shield grounded/connected? According to this discussion the purpose of the cable shield is to protect other devices from the USB cable's EMI, but it could go either way.

2. Less likely in a typical system, but per this article's commandment VIII ensue the ground potential is the same as the aquaero power source.

If you have any questions, hopefully some smart people will jump in.

Was the USB extender powered? How many devices were connected to it?

Which header are you connected to now? Have you tried using the other one? (If in USB11/12, use USB9/10 or vice versa.)

Don't know if the Asus boards actually ground pin 10, but ensure you're using the 5-pin side of the header and not the 4-pin. That NC/ground pin may help if you're not already using that.

Assuming you're using this cable...k-header-ext-50cm.jpg

Happy new year. I'm fairly new around here but I have a suggestion I hope might help you. Some sleep states on a computer will activate when you leave it for a short amount of time, we don't see this because it has no visual representation.

Could you go into Device Manager in the control panel. Select Universal Serial Bus controllers. Right click each entry and click properties.

For each of the USB devices with a properties tab for Power Management untick "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" click ok for each.

Then go to Mice and other pointing devices and Keyboards. Visit the properties tab for each device. For those that have Power Management tabs, tick "Allow this device to wake the computer" and click ok.

Another thing you could try is go to your control panel. Find the power options. It should have a balanced power plan recommended by default. Click Change Plan Settings then on the new page Change Advanced Power Settings. A tab called Power Options will appear

Open up the + sign next to USB settings then open up the + sign next to USB selective Suspend Setting. Change the setting to disabled, click apply etc etc.

In the bios there are usually power options to wake the computer. I don't think this is relevant in your case but you could also make sure that the computer is set to wake from s3/s4/s5 etc from USB devices.
