Windows 7 Sleep issues--freezes after coming out of sleep

Question

Running Windows 7 rig with MSI MS-7511 Mobo. Back in October, I purchased a refurb Microsoft Wireless 6000 keyboard and installed it. I THINK this is what started my problems. Since then, computer will go into sleep mode as usual, but at some point after coming out of sleep (maybe a few seconds, maybe an hour) it will totally freeze. The only way to get the system back up is to unplug it and re-start.
I have since uninstalled the keyboard, and tried to restore, but still having the problem. Pretty sure it's a USB problem, but I have tried re-installing drivers (mcp732) and even the MB BIOS. If I run the system without my wireless mouse and with no USB devices, it works fine. I have also tried switching USB devices to different ports, to no avail.
It's not just the mouse that causes the issues, it seems to be any connected USB device.
Also--and I think this is weird-I installed a PCI USB card in one of the slots and transferred my mouse to that and the same thing still happens. Wouldn't that be a totally different set of drivers than the ones that drive the main MB USB devices?
Don't know what to try next . . . want to avoid having to do a Windows re-install if possible.
Below are the errors I get when I run powercfg -ENERGY.
Any ideas? Would like to avoid giving away another two days of my life re-installing my software.

I don't think I've had a setup yet where sleepmode wasn't causing issues, I shut it off.
Sleep has only become an issue with Windows 7, where MS got so aggressive about it, and caused so many problems for so many people, that many have done as you and turned it off! Shame on you Microsoft! Instead of saving energy your customers are leaving their PCs on!
I suspect the OP's problem is with (of all things) the MS wireless mouse/kb driver(s). At first my setup wouldn't work at all, then I dl'ed the newest Intellimouse drivers/software and it worked "better", but I have never been able to get Sleep to work reliably. I finally found that Hibernate works reliably, so that is all I do now. When the PC is done working, it saves to HDD and shuts off. Resuming from this state takes longer than resuming from Sleep, but at least it Works Every Time.
