MichelIf it is an ATX power supply, also check the BIOS settings for what the machine does after a power outage. If it is set to power on, it may be seeing power fluctuations as loss of power, and powering on. Mikkel
It may also have a setting that turns it on at a specific time. I have
Asus boards that have that.
Want to have the computer ready for work at 9AM, but don't want it
running all night--set it to wake up at 8 or 8:30AM. That will give
anacron time to do what it has to do and it will be waiting for you when
you're ready to do your thing.
