USB Mouse on Low Power

My USB mouse has stopped functioning when my battery level reaches 50% on my alienware M14 laptop.  I am not sure how to stop this from happening.  I have looked at my advanced power settings - there is an option to selectively suspend your USB adapters, which I have disabled.  The mouse sometimes begins to function again after a 5-10 minute delay.    Any ideas?

Hello adamkynaston!

Have you try putting the computer on High performance in the power options that might help?

Let us know how it goes.

Tried it, no difference.  At about 50% power my screen automatically dims and my USB disconnects.  I have changed the power threshold for "low battery" to 5% -- I can't see anywhere in the power options that still has changes indicated for a 50% charge.  Not sure what to try next :(
