| 355162 | 2005-05-15 08:25:00 | I've checked, double checked and checked again over the bios settings, and can only find standby timer settings, no enable/disable setting. There is no mention anywhere in any windows settings re: standby or power button settings, only hibernate. Also, on shutting windows down, there is no 'it is safe to turn of PC screen', which I would have expected if the power button wasn't supported. Keyboard is a Compaq SK 2860, a PS/2 keyboard with a few internet buttons along the top. No standby or sleep buttons though. Would the keyboard really affect it? I've updated bios to latest version I could find, still no difference. I'm guessing this motherboard just doesn't support these functions |

| 355163 | 2005-05-15 08:39:00 | Try going into device manager / select view show hidden devices . Look for NT APM/Legacy Interface node . (This might be under non plug and play drivers) . Double click on this (if its there) . See if u can enable it . And under power options in control panel, is there an APM tab? And under the advanced tab in this (if this is there), do u get the option shutdown and standy under a power button option? |

| 355164 | 2005-05-15 14:32:00 | Theres no NT APM/Legacy interface Node. Or anything similar that may be to do with the power supply, that I can see at least. Under Power Options there is a APM tab, and APM is enabled. Though I don't not see any differences anywhere whether it's enabled or not. Under the advance tab, there is no power button option. It's a shame really, I only got this motherboard just for this particular job and it must be able to shut down off the power button. I don't really want to buy another one if I can help it, but I think I'll have to. Thing is, I don't want to go to any great expense really as this PC is not vital, but will I have the same trouble if I pick up another cheap one? |
