Please think old m/b; a 440BX, Abit BX6r2.0 using final 'QR' bios. I am having trouble with the "Power Management" bios screen.
Just now I have ACPI disabled. I have Power Management disabled. And, any/all interrupt vectors are disabled also except the PS/2 Mouse which does not seem to have a "disable" setting. Perhaps this is the glitch. The trouble is that when I turn off the PC (push the PwrOn/Off button), I seem to have to hold the button for >4 secs to get the PC to shut down. But, when I release the button, the PC powers right back on! Kind of like there is some latch getting re-enabled and firing again. I plan to re-enable ACPI in bios. I plan to re-enable Power Mgmt in bios, but disable any/all interrupt vectors. Is this a good plan? Thank you, Duncan
