Hi Guys,
I am facing one problem with my PC. My Computer gets on when i switch on the power of main board not of PC. I thought it might be the problem of illegal shutdown but after proper shutdown it's again showing the same symtoms. Please help me to rectify this problem. Cabinet is ATX.

Thanks..

GO TO YOUR BIOS AND GO TO POWER OPTIONS AND SEE THE OPTION OF RESTART POWER FAILURE AND SET IT TO : STAY OFF

save and exit

this is because ATX when launched had the start up by two pins shorting which remained shorted after shutdown also..
THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED IN MICROATX AND UATX

and see your BIOS OPTIONS FOR MORE OPTIONS IN BIOS POWER SETUP FOR THIS
