Newly built PC wont stay off
I am about to toss in the towel and buy a Dell
After assemblning my PC using the Gigabyte ga-k8nxp-sli board I find that after I shut down Windows, the darn thing boots up on it's own ]
If I throw the switch on the back of the PSU and leave it for a few hours, then throw the switch back to the " On " position the PC will remain off until I hit the power button
Once Windows loads and I run the OS for a bit, then shut down, ether by power button or start menu, The thing will come back on after about two minutes
I did not reload the OS after the motherboard swap
The old board was an Asus A8N-SLI premuim with the flaky lan controllers, I did not reload since both boards have the nforce 4 chipset, Once I back up the data I plan on reloading Windows
Maybe this will clear things up
I checked the other post regarding a haunted PC and checked my bios settings etc
I hope I don't have to return yet another bad board, geaash, Maybe that Dell XPS IS looking good about now and a good copy of SUSE 10.0
Format c  I'm givin er all she's got cap'in !!! )
