PC Turns On By Itself

wa77ss · 02-19-06, 11:50 AM

Whenever I turn off my PC using Windows or by application it will shutdown and stay off for about 30seconds to 1 minute and then it will turn back on by itself and boot to Windows or w/e again. I find this to be very strange. It does not happen everytime, just once in a while. I have tried two different PSU's and two different cases as well, in case it was shorting out somehow. But it still didnt have any affect on it whatsoever.

The specs of this machine are.
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (Non SLI)
Fortron 500W BlueStorm
Nvidia 6200 TurboCache 64MB
A64 3000+ Winchester @ Stock
Hitachi Deskstar 80G ATA133
Some Aspire Case

Note I have tried more than one PSU and case so I am starting to think its the motherboard that is the problem. Any ideas ?????

Thanks

That's completely wierd. Wonder if its the Main board, switch wise.

Could be a wake on signal from one of the devices. Some motherboards have a "Wake on USB" "Wake on keyboard/mouse" or similar option. I had this problem the a KT600 MB. Something kept telling the damn thing to wake back up right away. After I disabled all of that it stayed off.

I have a feeling you are 100% right. I remember seeing that option before. Check you BIOS I think its in there. Or that could be enable USB..Arg. I can't remember. But JT is definately right!

I agree. The options for the "wake on ... " settings are in the Bios.

Yeah. Best guess might be the mouse. An optical mouse could move just the slightest bit from tension on the cord and that would be enough to get the comp to turn on again.

Ya that did the trick. I couldnt find anything in my BIOS saying wake from (x) so I just disabled USB mouse support and havent had a problem since.

Thanks
