| 543532 | 2007-04-23 07:33:00 | Hi, when i press a key on the keyboard [ps2 connection] it turns the pc on [which is in XP Home's Hibernate mode]. I don't want this to happen, but i still want to use Hibernate mode for a quicker bootup/shutdown. The keyboard does not have a "Power Management" features [in Device Manager] like the network card has. Also, the bios wake up features are all turn off. Can anyone help? *[Keybooard looks like a standard keyboard that doesn't have multi-media features, etc.. on it] |

| 543533 | 2007-04-24 11:26:00 | Just to clarify what you are asking, you want to be able to stop the keyboard waking the PC from hibernation? You also want to be able to power down the keyboard? How are you intending to end the hibernation? | Jen (38) | ||
| 543534 | 2007-04-24 11:38:00 | Sounds like you're using an ASUS mobo/system which does what you're talking about. Pressing a key turns the PC on. With a PS/2 keyboard. Its an option in the BIOS under the power menu / power on by PS/2 keyboard option. Which is on some / most ASUS mobos. |

| 543535 | 2007-04-24 23:15:00 | (1.) you want to be able to stop the keyboard waking the PC from hibernation? (2.) You also want to be able to power down the keyboard? (3.) How are you intending to end the hibernation? (1.) Yes (2.) If (1.) doesn't works, yeap (3.) via On/Power button on Computer case, which works. |

| 543536 | 2007-04-24 23:20:00 | If you have to press a key to turn the PC on, its not in hibernation, its off. Thats the point in having it enabled, if u have an ASUS mobo. Thats its intention. To save u pressing the on/off button to turn the system on. Which can save wear and tear on the on/off button on the front of the case. And pressing the on/off button, will end hibernation, coz it'll turn the system off altogether. |

Its an option in the BIOS under the power menu / power on by PS/2 keyboard option . Which is on some / most ASUS mobos . MotherBoard is ASUS [with AwardBIOS], but the option had been disabled . Maybe that option powers up the comp from complete shutdown or I might need to update the bios [which I have never done] . Now i thinking that hibernation mode works like stand-by mode (whatever that means :]) |

| 543538 | 2007-04-24 23:28:00 | Maybe it's just to stop the cat waking the computer from it's hibernation? Cats seem to prefer buttons with a (nearly) vertical action stroke. Goldfish are much simpler to keep off the keys, BTW. |

| 543540 | 2007-04-24 23:51:00 | To Speedy Gonzales: I tested the bios option and it seems to only work for/from a complete shut-down . |
