I always Hibernate my PC. Sometimes when I boot, it does not recognize the mouse/keyboard or any USB devices. I've also setup it to go in sleep in 5 minutes.

In that case I can't restart the PC so that USB starts working.

When I press the Power button then it starts shutdown but asks confirmation twice, one is for shutdown by force confirmation and then there is one more. When my USB is disabled I can't input these options. So I switch off the power.

What I want is that upon pressing Power Button it should at once start shutdown without asking any more confirmations

System details:
Win-7 Home Premium 64 bit
Intel i3 530
Asus P montherboard

EDIT: It is Desktop PC
