    Win8.1 Shuts down USB ports

    Anybody had any problems with Win7 home or Win8.1 shutting down/off USB DOT4 ports after about an hour or more?
    I have an HP desktop MFP that shuts down printing comms after an hour or two.

    It's no real problem, the printer starts normal again after unplugging the USB cable an reinserting it. During frequent daily office use there is minimal laytime, so and the problem appears random.

    --------------- Update---------------
    I know what the problem is.
    The PC has an extra 4 port USB(2.0) card plugged on the mother board. Win7-8 would be setting it to power save mode.
    Will check the software in then morning....
