278321 2004-10-04 22:33:00 Upon recently upgrading my PC, I put in a new ASUS motherboard and P4 CPU. After the upgrade I booted up my PC, installed the OS and everything went fine.

However a few days later when I turned on my PC at the wall socket, it automatically booted up for no reason. I shut it down and then turned it off and on again at the wall, the same thing happened

Now every time I switch it on @ the wall, it automatically boots up - how can I stop it from doing this?

278322 2004-10-04 22:37:00 there will be a power setting in bios as to what to do after power failure.

set the after power failure mode to "off" or "last setting" and not to "on"

that should be all you need to do.

278323 2004-10-04 22:39:00 BTW the above instruction are just a guide and the wording on your system will be a bit different but i hope you get the idea.

PS welcome to F1.

Yeah I tried that and it seems to be working - the only reason I posted up here is that I am pretty sure I tried that a couple of weeks back and it didn't make much diffrerence.

But...it seems to be working this time - thanks for your suggestion though.

Yea I thought F1 would be a good place to post this query - I was actually a member a few years back but I lost my login details! (I tried recovering my password etc back - but I have since changed email addresses)

If I have anymore trouble I will post a msg back on here..
