Can Windows Turn Itself on Backup and Turn Off Again

PC automatically turns itself dorsum on afterwards shutdown

Posted by Es Bee

Strange one this folks... When I shutdown my PC it automatically powers itself dorsum on after effectually 5 seconds, full power on, HDD, fan etc and starts loading my Os.

Even so, when the PC has booted back upwards and when I do a hard power off past belongings the power button downwards for vi seconds the PC turns off and stays off.

Tried the BIOS and in that location's cipher in there enabled like boot on lan etc.

Anything anyone has ever experienced?

I've seen that earlier...not sure if it is exactly what you're getting, but the power button was stuck in. Or rather, the inside switch behind the push push.

I did, and information technology was caused by a joystick for mame games that was using a USB port and a mouse port.

Effort issuing a shutdown /p from the command prompt as an administrator. Does the power kick back on?

Go into BIOS and change your power settings to " Remain off afterwards ability failure" in the Power Management section.

Optionally, switch from S3 to S1 power mode in BIOS or reverse.

Strange, I attempted to put it on Ubuntu's equivilent of Sleep manner and over again, it went to sleep, 5 seconds later its like someone clicked the mouse or hitting the render key and it awoke over again.

I did take off the front end panel and the symptoms were the same, i didn't however bank check the inside switch.

I'll also cheque my USB devices indivudually.

Cheers guys.

I've seen PCs do this if the power button has a contact shorted too.

I had a server that was doing it and it was when a service crashed on shutdown and it was set to restart so it booted the box back up.

Probably something in the computers bios doing information technology. Has this started happening all of a sudden?

Had one of those, where a smidgen of WD-twoscore in the plastic switch solved the issue.

As with Rick4, hard to say if that indeed is the effect & resolution path.

An easy way to find out is open the case, disconnect the button from the mobo, and perform the shutdown. If it boots back upwardly, information technology isn't the switch.

wait what Os is this?

i second trying to turn off using command line and see if it turns dorsum on

mayhap something is wrong with the keyboard or keyboard wire that is why it doesnt stay in slumber mode...

Forgive my burst, but we're just doing some guesswork.
If Es Bee was a little bit more specific , information technology would surely can narrow down the problem .
Unremarkably in these cases, reference is made to the BIOS settings.
If this is non possible , take you always thought to turn off the power ?
That tiny little button behind the computer .

i had same problem with new biostar lga775 socket motherboard i claimed warranty and at present its no problem
i think that is motherboard outcome
sorry for my bad english

May not be relevant here but I had a car which had a dodgy driver which would bluescreen the PC during shutdown. It would stay off for about 5-10 seconds and and so boot upward again.

From what I remember I think information technology was an outdated chipset driver which didn't like a certain graphics driver.

I Think the problem is come out from motherboard probably in chipset mainboard northbridge. Why, considering every setting in BIOS and other thing merely USB Wireless mouse has been plug out we already washed it and that problem still come out or the problem is not gone.

I had this happen, was a power problem, sometimes the PC merely would not turn on, and then when it was information technology would restart if you lot told information technology to shutdown. I changed the PSU took out ram etc leaving the bare basics in and it still happened, I think it was a bad earth shorting information technology from the mobo screws (underneath), works at present though since I took it apart and put it back together.

remove all usb devices except mouse and keyboard

a) boot from a Linux live disk, and so try shutting downward...
- if it fails to shutdown so hardware fault is probable. get hardware repaired
- if it shuts down and so it looks like a windows software fault
b) if windows software fault

boot to safe mode and shutdown

if OK then fault with driver or installed software,
- end all services and startup items and restart and shutdown adding a new item each time until it fails then uninstall offending item
if not ok
- could still be software or commuter just will probably demand a windows rebuild.

Its running Ubunto 12.04 at present, however before that it was running XP Professional person (SP3) and it was doing it then aswell so don't think its a service or virus/malware problem.

I tried swapping out the USB devices (just mouse & keyboard - everything else unplugged), then took out an unused PCI Serial port carte du jour, nothing, aforementioned problems. I've got a 'new' PSU to try and a new power lead. Failing that, i've as well got to try and plug it directly into the mains to come across if that makes a difference instead of an over loaded extension lead. Failing that, so i'll strip and rebuild.

I'll post my findings this weekend!

Cheers,

Es Bee.

Is this a custom PC or consumer system? Some Lenovos and Dells, have a "Remember last ability land" option nether ability management in the BIOS. Yous might attempt disabling this if you have it.

Fool around with power options until y'all discover a setting that works.

Ive had the aforementioned issue on a gigabyte z77 board I found that using the shutdown /p control keeps it off. Im using windows 8 on a custom built PC and have checked all wol settings and all are disabled.

i have same problem with ASROCK FATALITY Z87 KILLER using win 7 and win 8.i doesnt matter if i utilize sleep or shutdown

ive just bought all new components . . . i am sure that its non past bone and its not caused by bios os or using the wrong port of mouse . . . now i had turned off the ability source and take out the battery from motherboard . . . wait a few minutes put information technology back and it works :D i have solve it while i was typing this :)

Glad to hear. I concluded upwards only changing the motherboard from an old unused device and that solved the issue. Possibily the battery on mine aswell - wish i tried that starting time!

Was this mail service helpful? thumb_up thumb_down
Good to hear the consequence is resolved. From my feel, when a system powers back on after total shut-off, it has been due to one of the following things:

one. Faulty PGS (Power Proficient Signal)

2. Power supply malfunctioning

3. Power management setting(s) in BIOS and/or operating organisation

4. Loose components (CPU, I/C, Graphics Adapter, etc.) on motherboard

Check # 4 by disconnecting / removing processor, expansions carte du jour, cables, ability fully then reinstalling. Cheque BIOS I/C to make certain it is firmly seated.

For #3, reset BIOS per the motherboard manufacturer'due south instructions.
