New build PC keeps turning himself on #Imanoob

Go to solution Solved by LE0NSKA,

my problem wasn't solved the way I wanted but it did.. kinda

 

since we established the antennas fault for booting my pc, I tried to test few things here and there and the freakin' connecter just broke or something.. I couldn't get any internetconnection anymore

it's a very very tiny connector, I knew it would break if anyone would use it more than 5 times aaaaaand...surprise - it did

 

so I plugged my weird LAN to WiFi thingy I used for something else (looks somthing like this http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNCE2001-Universal-Internet-Adapter/dp/B007CO5DZ4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1383421509&sr=8-3&keywords=netgear+wifi) and since then - no selfboots of any kind

 

the problem was found but not really solved.. more like, avoided I guess. not sure if it counts as "answered" but oh well..

 

 

 

thanks for the help

Hello magnificent People of LinusTechTipsForum,

 

first and foremost let me appologize for any grammar fail and other other weird.. words I may use. This isn't my native language but I kinda enjoy trying.

Oh, and this may very well be a long post for the.. in comparison very minor problem (basically the title says it all), just because of my nature, but..! I'll try to make this funny and entertaining

(spoileralert: No, I won't)

 

The reason I'm posting it here howefer, and not somewhere where my language barrier might not exsist, is because of the community.

I'm subscribed to linus for quite some time now and he was one of the main reasons I decided to actually build my own rig (And I'm not even a PC guy). Plus the money I made of course. 

It was my first time doing anything like that, and it was fun as hell. Literally everything in this machine, or connected to it, is new (except the mouse and electricity)

It works weirdly enough and I'm having a blast. Howefer, I might have done something wrong... 

 

 

Problem:

Everytime I shut it down, it'll eventually will turn itself on again! There is no pattern when this will happen. Sometimes it takes just 1 minute, sometimes a few hours.

 

Spec:

ASUS P8Z77-V Pro

Intel i7 3770K (no overclocking was done)

Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3-1600

msi GTX 680 2 GB 

 

WD Blue 1000 GB

Intel 520 SSD 120 GB

 

be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 650W

ASUS Xonar Essence STX

 

If there is anything else you need to know, I'll happily reply.

 

Edit: Oh and each it time it does this.. my Icons on the desktop will "reset" to their default position (left aligned from top)

 

 

Thank you in advance

Greetings

 

 

 

 

UPDATE:

After unplugging the ASUS wi-fi antenna, my PC immediately booted itself.

Without the antenna plugged it, it seems to not boot itself up!

 

Whats the solution there?

You sure you are not hitting the reset button?  

 

Well saw you said a few hours...hmmmm only thing I can think of is power supply being weird?

Go into BIOS and make sure that you have 'Wake on LAN' off and have disabled scheduled wake up events. Basically check your motherboard for all features that could possibly turn your computer on.

you should also check windows for any wake up events.

This is most likely either a problem with your front panel connectors or there's a setting in the BIOS enabled to wake up the computer for some event. Less likely, you could have events scheduled in Windows to wake your computer.

Check you have correctly connected the front panel connectors.

It's actually something I would do. Memory speeds dont affect that much, and 1600mhz platinums looks awesome while still being quite affordable.

Ok, I'll check em out thanks

as far as I can tell, I disabled the wake up functions in BIOS. could have easily missed something though, not that much of a PC guy

scheduled windows events? where can I find them?

Hit the start button and type in "task scheduler". They're all listed there. As for the BIOS, you can reset it to defaults just to make sure that nothing is set to wake it.

The vast majority (or all) of them are legit. AFAIK you'll have to go through them one by one, but I'm sure a google search will render a method to find scheduled tasks that could be turning it on.

So I deleted some Adobe Flash Player and Chrome update schedules and turned it down for the night before going to sleep. It booted itself about 7 in the morning. I turned it off again, got to work - came back home - it was on again, so I checked the schedules again. and none of them fit the time period when it happend :/

so thats probably not it I'm affraid :(

 

have yet to check the front panel connecters though.. can I ask a off-topic question?

I did not found any sorts of timers, besides there is no pattern on when it turns on.. can take minutes, can take hours

do you know the specific location (ASUS P8Z77-V Pro)

 

I pressed mouse and keyboardbuttons and moved it around to see if that would do anything - nope

I might even turn them off regarless

 

I did...
