How to boot by keyboard?
I went into the bios and selected the spacebar as the key to boot the
computer but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do? I have a P4PE. |

Also set a jumper on the motherboard. PS/2 power on thingy. Refer to
manual. "ggroups2" wrote in message ups.com... I went into the bios and selected the spacebar as the key to boot the computer but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do? I have a P4PE. |

Ok I set the jumper but still no go. Damn does that mean my power
supply cannot supply at least 1A on the +5VSB lead whatever that means? |

Try some other way, I prefer Ctrl + Esc, since a mis-touch on Spacebar only can restart PC when not intended. The combo key above is not for accidental touch, except in very rare case. |

Well it worked! I booted using the mouse then I changed it to sleep and
disabled mouse and it worked too. However I tried booting using the sleep key and it didn't work today. This is strange. Also Ithe mouse is still lit (optical) whent the computer is off even though mouse booting is disabled. |

This will only work with me if the box is continually connected to the
mains. I have an outer, main switch. If I switch off the whole computer thing with it (printer, screen, modem etc.) and then back on, well the space bar won't re-boot the box.

Works that way for me too .... and probably everyone else. I believe
that's normal operation. marsVoyager wrote: This will only work with me if the box is continually connected to the mains. I have an outer, main switch.

I have a P4P800-E Deluxe. If I switch off the power via a powerstrip (that
is, completely disconnect power to the PC), when I switch it back on, the space bar will turn the machine on. Every night, I shut down the PC and then turn off the power at the powerstrip. Each morning, I turn on the powerstrip and press the space bar. PC boots fine. Go figure... if your jumper is set and the BIOS is set, seems like it should work. John "WoofWoof" wrote in message ...
