Live motherboards after shutdowns

I used to have a mb that stayed live after my pc was shutdown,this allowed me to charge my cordless mouse overnight.After some major upgrades my new board dosent allow this.Is there a bios or registry fix that i can use to sort this out,all help welcome.
Answer #1
well im pretty sure you can turn some kind of option on in your bios configuration, dont know what its named , but somthing with USB :p
i had the same problem for a half year ago or somthin’ but i just looked around in my BIOS and found the option..
if you cant find it anywhere, then tell me your BIOS name ( or ur motherboard’s name ) then ill make some research
Answer #2
I think i know what you mean is it the wake on usb setting.
Answer #3
Yea i guess its somthing like that
if im not guessing wrong then there is 2 usb futures you can turn on n off in the settings
Answer #4
Could be bios or motherboard jumpers from what i saw here..
