try to configure the PC to re-start after power failure

[associates]

Hi,

I wonder if i could get some help here.

My aim here is to be able to get the PC to re-start itself after the power failure. At the moment, it'd be off until someone has to actually press the start button. I had a quick search on the internet and suspect it might be to do with BIOS configuration. I was trying to look for a option called "re-start after power failure" in the power management setup in BIOS but to no avail. Am i looking at the right place?

Here is the list under Power Management Setup
1. ACPI standby state   -   S3(STR)
2. Reset on AC/Power loss  -   Poweroff
3. Resume on Ring    -    Disabled
4. Resume on PME    -    Disabled

Thank you in advance

Sounds like it.

Here is the list under Power Management Setup
1. ACPI standby state   -   S3(STR)
2. Reset on AC/Power loss  -   Poweroff
3. Resume on Ring    -    Disabled
4. Resume on PME    -    Disabled

#2 in your list above looks like it.      Have you tried it?


Best would be to read the docs.        Can you tell us the bios name and version number?      The make and model number of the motherboard?


Just curious, -  why do you want the computer to restart when the power comes back on?
