Two things I can suggest you look at for this problem:

In the Windows Control Panel go into Power Options (Performance and Maintenance). Open the APM tab, and make sure it's enabled (checked).

If above is set or doesn't resolve the issue, in your PC's BIOS settings, check to see if you have a Plug and Play option. If you do, try toggling this setting (off if it's on, and vice versa).
