This is only accually a problem if you have a decent power supply. For the PME Event to even happen the +5 rail from your power supply must supply more than 1 amp else you won't even have this problem. This is accually a bug in Windows and I'm supprised Microsoft has not fixed it. I'm also supprised that any black hat hackers haven't used it to make any zombie computers.
