pc turns on automatically

pc turns on automatically without pressing the power button... :?:

Care to share the Config along with PSU?

Is the PC in a Network?

This problem may occur for different reasons:-
1. Improper assembling. Some parts are not assembled properly, resluting current leakage.
2. Faulty capacitors in Motherboard or SMPS.

i think it's related to assembling then how should i correct it?

@tech_wiz - intel d915gav,512 mb ram, 250 gb hdd , PSU-techcom(450 watt bought it yesterday)

Bad choice.

Anyways, it may be due to it, or even faulty power on switch in the chassis.

Then the problem is most probably with the PSU. These local PSUs sometime have bad capacitors, resulting the electricity to flow as the capacitor is not able to hold the charge.

some motherboards have settings in bios to turn PC on as soon as power is provided. check for such setting in bios. else blame the el-crapo PSU.

+1 Sam, I was about to say the same. It is known as APM (Advanced Power Management).
