Restart after shutdown

[llamedos]

I don't know if this is the correct place for this (yet), but i'll ask anyway

When i shut down my PC. After it shuts down and the fans stop and the lights go out etc. 10 seconds later it restarts again

I've had a search on the net but not found anything usefull, have any of you guys ever come accross this before? any help would be appreaciated.

BTW. It is a new pc, built it my self (could be half the problem ) i can give you the specs if you need them.

Thanks

hmm This sounds like a familiar problem but I cant remember from where.... oh yea...! The power supply... My HP would boot up when I plugged it in sometimes.... I am guessing the PSU was shot and is what fried that comp.... My guess is something isn't plugged in right or the PSU is messed up.... Though I am guessing. Anyone else have an idea?

Also, Try shuting down the pc by pressing the button on the front once, see what happens, and then hold it down until the pc shuts off imediatly and see if it does it.

It runs like a dream except for restarting.

Try unhooking all the wires and trying again... a very nice Power supply!

Go into your control panel and check the Power settings, it may be that it is set up to restart after powerdown unless it is unplugged.

Thanks Gunny

When i put it together the P/S cables ended up in a bit of a birds nest, so once i knew everthing was good i was going to mark the cables and rewire it. I might do it sooner than later, that P/S really has a lot of wires LOL

Thanks again

er windows can actually do that!? Wow.... I didn't know that eno.... I knew it could send my pc into a mind boggling frozen Hibernation... but turn back on?

Gunny (Windows never stops surprising me)

Yea the wires can be a mess (My hp was so bad it kept the heat in!) This acer has a decently designed case, hard drives in little bays as are the card reader, floppy thing, and CD-roms!  I am getting a hiper PSU soon enough (Detachable stuff if you don't need it) Should limit the wiring hastles..... hope you get it sorted soon!

This is like real time chat  ;D

Eno, in the controll panel i can only find "power Options" and under that i cannot find anything to do with restart after powerdown unless it is unplugged. can you give me a bit of direction please. (Maybe Google Maps)  ;D  ;D

Check your PM Martin.... I dunno I never saw any settings in there for power up after shutdown... hmm

Check your bios power-on settings, "Wake on...." you might find the answer there.

I had the same problem with an MSI board. Had to RMA it, but that fixed the problem.

That was the other one I was trying to think of.  ::)
