Then that behaviour has no relation with the BIOS setting. You are just awaking the system from hibernation. Now you just need to find out how is that your system can be restored by simple pressing any key as that should only happen for suspended systems not hibernated ones :-?

Mechas is not a 'what', she is a 'who'. I have an UPS to prevent damage from power outages which are common here. The UPS is an APC BR700G and completely separate from the system with the Asus mobo.

Yes, and also try to completely shutdown the machine and then press the space bar to see what happens. Computer should not start. I have not asked Asus because I am afraid they will ask what version windows I have installed. Well, this is a BIOS issue more that a OS problem. This mobo has a weird feature: you can select 'express gate' and get access to a linux O/S that gets you access to "the internet and skype". I have it disabled and never have tried that. I fear all of those new settings... I also prefer to keep the old-and- well-known options for the BIOS that have been working since decades and keep the rest disabled :-} To make it worse, you have to use MS windows to download the Linux O/S for that Express Gate option.
