PC powers up by itself when plugged in

[hakobian]

hi everyone,


just built a pc, when i plug in the power cord, the pc automatically powers up before i get a chance to switch it on manually from the power button on the front of the case. any ideas guys?


thank you in advance, oshin.

Power button stuck! Disconnect it and see.

 

[hakobian]

ive checked that but no luck

 

[CCT]

You mean you disconnected it and no dice?

Could be a faulty power supply

 

[hakobian]

yeah ive disconnected and no luck. the psu is brand new fresh from the box, the system runs fine with no problems so i dont think it would be that. is there anythin i can change in bios?

 

[CCT]

Does it shut down when given the command?

 

[hakobian]

it shuts down fine when given the command

Check your network adapter settings for 'start on lan' and 'start on .....' whatever.


edit: check Bios for this also (wake or start or whatever)

 

[hakobian]

is this in the bios?

 

[CCT]

There is likely a Bios setting and will definately be one if you look at the network adapter (Network Connections) in Control Panel.

CHEERS-THANKS!!! CHEERS-THANKS!!! CHEERS-THANKS!!! sorted, i disabled start on lan. thanks again.

Alas -I think they call that 'commercial advertising' here - please delete that reference. I am glad to have helped.

 

[hakobian]

opps, sorry, i'll delete it now. thanks again tho!

I was just going to post "reset the bios"... glad you got it sorted

 

[CCT]

Yeah, TM, but I plod. A new build, I start at that then work my way into the Bios and OS.

Whatever works, but I like a linear approach even if it is somewhat my own.

 

[Tmagic650]

I will go into the bios on the first boot into the OS... Set the time and date, then set the boot order. Go through all the settings quickly to check defaults. Boot or wake on LAN, Modem or Network are all off by default most of the time

 

[CCT]

As do I, BUT, you have to assume at the start that these posters HAVE done that or you spend HOURS teaching them to install an OS and ALL the hardware.

No time for that.

I troubleshoot.
