PC keeps turning itself on
Asus P5GD2 Deluxe, latest BIOS. I shut down from WinXP and a few sec. or a
few min. later it powers back on. Then when I turn it off from front power button, it always stays off. All of the "wake on" events that I can find in BIOS are disabled. What the hell do I do next? Thx! |

Probably there is a wake event software that still you didn't find. Also you could try reinstalling the operating system, this could bring some options to default. -- Now working at http://www.newonlineshopping.net Books, Clothing and Accessories, Computers, Electronics, Gifts, Jewelry and Watches. |

Check the little power connectors. Maybe the wrongly connected. Like power switch and led and stuff. Bye, Skybuck. |

Incidentally, I did recently reinstall XP and that's I think when the problem began! Thanks... |

But I can't actually find the LAN wake setting! I see the list of other wake events (ps2 keyboard, etc) but it's not in there! |

But I can't actually find the LAN wake setting! I see the list of other wake events (ps2 keyboard, etc) but it's not in there! Maybe Windows programs the LAN chip, just before shutdown, for any required behavior. If I go to Device Manager, and look at my NIC, there are properties in there, saying "OS controlled" for Wake on LAN. That dialog says my WOL is currently Disabled. PME is used by the actual NIC chip, to signal to the chipset, to wake up. (PME is the same kinda thing they used to put on that three wire WOL cable. Now it is a bus signal.) The NIC chip runs off a derivative of +5VSB, to get the necessary power to look for Magic Packets or to look for "any activity". Some NIC chips have multiple waking methods, while others are quite restricted as to what will wake them. Paul |

I'd even diabled that once before but a long time ago. Anyway it finally stays off now! Only question now is why my router/modem would be sending magic packets after every shutdown... |
