1150 B85M Gaming power up on its own

Hi, I just built a pc for basic computing work and web surfing. After the build the unit would power itself up after I shut it down from window. It would power itself up anywhere in the interval of 5-45 minutes. But if i shut the unit down by holding down the power button from the front of the case, it would stay off indefinitely until i power it up using the same button. Please help as i play around with multiple setting in bios but it is still doing the same thing.
Hardware is at following:
1150 B85M MicroATX Gaming motherboard
G3258 cpu
TP-link wireless card
2x2gb Kingston RAM
40gb intel SSD
APEX DM-387 case
win7 32bit

As keep the pc on standby is there any wake event enabled in bios (e.g. wake on lan)?
I do not see any wake on lan feature in the bios after going through it several time. I might have missed it if it is within the advanced feature dealing the overclocking.
I currently have these features adjusted with no success:
-Setup Wake Up Conf
Wake Up Event By [OS]
-Restore after AC Power Loss [Power off]
-Intel (R) Smart connect Technology [Disabled] (I don't really know what it is and have not research it)
-I have also adjusted Boot priority as: 1st is Intel SSD
2nd is DVD/DVD-R
I disabled the rest of the boot feature

Power Down on its own

Recently, my phone has been powering down on its own. this happens when i am actively talking on the phone or when its sitting idle. At this very moment, i was listening to Pandora on the phone and the screen has blackened out. My notification light is blinking green. the Power button is not responding and the I have already taken out and put back in the SIM card and the SD cards. Is there any resolution for this or do i need a new phone.

Hi there, OK, as it turns out it just looks like a G5, but G5s are PPC & had IBM CPUs in them not Intel CPUs.
Does it run lomg enough to get these & check the temps?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

Power button on iPod touch operates on its own

Hello,
I have a 64 GB 3rd generation iPod touch. I bought it new about four years ago. It has NEVER given me any problems mechanically, and I know Apple has a good track record for this. However, about a week ago, response of the power button became a little spotty. I figured this was no big deal, as the device is four years old, it should be expected that every single button should not be as responsive as it was the day I got it. I left it at that and enabled Assistive Touch to releive some of the stress of the power button. This worked fine until three days ago, when the power button actually began to dictate to the device on its own. I am getting the same spotty response of the button, but now it will wake up the device and put it back to sleep again all on its own. I could be in the middle of selecting a new song or giving a voice command - then bam! The device puts itself to sleep. There are times when the device receives so much input from the power button it will flicker on and off from receiving so many spastic commands. Then, at other times, the device behaves as normal. A good way to describe this is electronic epilepsy. The device will be functioning as normal - then the next moment - it literally appears to be having some sort of seizure. It flickers on and off and sends all of the imaginable commands from the power button one could think of. Sometimes the button sends the shutdown signal and I get the "Side to Power Off" pane. I know this is an old device and that these mechanical altercations should be expected, but this makes it very, very difficult, and above all, irritating, to accomplish a task even as mundane as switching songs. Like I said, this little iPod has been great and it has withstood many elements which should have done it in (like braving extreme sub-zero and above-100F temperatures multiple times). So its life has not been a walk in the park, but it never displayed any signs of weakness, which is why I am baffled that in a perfect working enviromnent this odd quirck is occuring. But I like to think of it as a workhorse, and I sure as heck wasn't looking to invest in another flagship iPod model just at the moment, so I would dearly love to get this issue resolved and get back to having this thing as my daily companion. I have already done a factory reset and set it up as a new iPod. This did not help. Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to just get this device under control? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

Mac Book Pro i7 - Logging off on its own, night time, power down sleep

Hi Everyone,
I have had my Macbook pro for around 4 months now.
And I have had this problem from the beginning.
At night, often when I leave my machine, with software open and things active.
I come back in the morning to find my mac logged off and at the login screen.
Can anyone suggest what would be causing this?
I have MAC OSX 10.6.7
8GB of DDR3 RAM
2.8 GHZ Core i7 Processor
I have tried SMC resets and it doesnt seem to work.
Any ideas of why my mac book pro might be logging off on its own would be great!
Thank you.

Is Intel i5 4460 compatible with default factory bios of MSI B85M-Gaming?

I would like to know if it is compatible, BIOS wise. I use http://pcpartpicker.com/ to check for compatibility and says that some Intel B85 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs.
However it seems to be so since http://www.msi.com/support/mb/B85M-GAMING.html#support-cpu: Says 7823vA0, which seems to be the factory default bios version.
Would be nice for MSI to specify the default bios version as part of the specs or outside of packaging without having to power up the computer just to confirm what bios does the motherboard currently have.

ok thanks. Not all the time though a customer gets to look at the serial number of a motherboard box just to get that information, which still is a risk. (i.e. planning which parts to buy online/buying online) Since my B85M Gaming isn't available, i got a B85-G43 instead and an i5 4460 with it. I was worried that i was buying a non-compatible CPU and it wouldn't work as i was strictly following the CPU-bios support list (later found out that i was wrong doing this, due to the serial number dating on the board. I wouldn't know what the time stamp on it would be either until I inspected it or bought it, which is still a risk): http://www.msi.com/support/mb/B85G43.html#support-cpu
The sales techie then said that it would work because "nobody came back to them with a cpu-bios complaint" and they generalized that the LGA XXXX just need to correspond/match between CPU and motherboard. He says they stay away from BIOS upgrade since it might brick the board (which I also agree there's risk) and that its not going to be covered by their warranty policy.
So if i stayed away from the BIOS update, but the cpu would run as they claim - then will my system be unstable? (i.e. random Bsods, etc.) I guess it depends on the update itself too if it contains needed support for cpu X.
Also what else matters (general guidelines) for processor compatibility (apart from LGA XXXX, socket-wise)?
Processor stepping? (C0 ~ i guess this stepping is most safely assumed to be compatible? Seems common/base-level).
Serial Number manufacture date. But that only tells me when the board was made, i haven't found a site that lists the release date of the bios file version of the motherboard and then just assume that the board has that bios version with respect to its date.
Wattage - related with TDP, as long as the CPU doesn't exceed the mobo's limit for cpu wattage.

My iMac will no longer go to sleep on its own!

Help!
My iMac will no longer go to sleep on its own! No matter what my settings are under 'Energy Saver', the computer will NOT go to sleep. Rather, the monitor will just turn off and the white light on the front of the computer will come on. The white light does not 'throb', so I know it isn't sleeping.
I'm not running any weird applications preventing it from sleeping, I've tried booting in safe mode, and I've tried resetting the SMC.
This is a RECENT problem - I think it started occurring after installing the 1.0.1 firmware OR Mac OS 10.4.6 update. Does anyone else have this problem??
AHH! Thanks for your help!
Jonathan

Hey everyone -
Thanks for your suggestions.
David.Austin - yes, my power LED does not fluctuate, so I know the computer isn't sleeping, the display is just 'off'. I do have all my disks set to go to sleep. This is a recent problem - everything used to work just fine.
joejoe - I haven't yet tried zapping the PRAM (or NVRAM), but I give that a shot and reset the SMC (SMU) again. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to do a... re-install.
I'll report back with my results. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem.
Agreed - there is something wrong with one of those two updates.

HT203171 Macbook pro trackpad not responsive, opening apps on it's own, moving screens on its own, help!

Hi, I've been having a few issues with the trackpad, mostly with clicks lately. Today the cursor went rogue and started opening all sorts of programs and files, moving to different screens and opening things there, generally going crazy and not responding when I tried to use it. I rebooted several times before it decided to stop on its own -- I'm not sure the reboot had anything to do with it. I took a video of it with my ipod, but it's too big to upload here. Any suggestions before I open cocktail and and run repairs? Thanks for any help you can offer.

My Macbook Pro started to experience the very same erratic behaviour. At first I noticed that it would happen if the MBP was on a flat tabletop surface. If I placed the MBP on my lap, the magic pad seemed to operate properly. It was very consistent. Since this is a capacitative surface, I tried an experiment. I placed the MBP on a tabletop surface where it's exhibited the malfunction. Then I used my other hand on the flat surface areas near the magic pad while using my right hand to manipulate the cursor. It appears that touching the casing with my other hand seemed to calm down the erratic behaviour. When I used only one hand, the erratic behaviour returned.
I'd searched several forums to no avail. No one seemed to have a solution or an explanation so I just lived with it.
However, by coincidence, I was experiencing what I believed was an unrelated issue. One of my USB ports was no longer responding to devices plugged into that port. While searching for a solution for the USB port, I stumbled across a post where the user suggested resetting the SMC. I'd never heard of that before this post. In his post, he mentioned that erratic Magic Pad behaviour could also be caused by the SMC.
He instructed to
1. Attach the MagSafe power cord
2. Power off the MacBook Pro
3. Press the L-Shift/Control/Option and Power button at the same time and hold.
4. Release them all at the same time
5. Then power on the MacBook Pro
Not only did my USB regain functionality, but it appears to have resolved my erratic Magic Pad behaviour. It now operates as it had done when new.
For reference, I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" with the Intel I3 processor and Lion.
I hope that helps somebody else as it did for me.

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

Mac Mini keeps shutting off on its own!

Okay Apple Discussion Users, Here is my problem. I have a Mac Mini from early 2008. As of May 23, 2009 the mini started to RANDOMLY turn off on its own. For what reason, I Don't know! I will be using it maybe searching the web, and BAM, OUT COLD. And I have no reason why it's doing this. Its not a heat issue because i just had my mini cleaned up(dusted out) and i use SMC fan control keeping my mini at about 98ºF to 120ºF most of the time. I have opened my mini and re-seated my ram sticks and it seems to STILL be doing the same thing. Sometimes the mini will even blank out. I will be searching the web listening to music or something and the screen will black out. but the mac will still be on. I just cant use it. I have even reset my PMU/SMC on the mini, that seemed to make the mini act really weird, right after doing that the mini turned on with a fan running FULL speed and the hard drive running FULL speed, WHY IS IT DOING THIS ?!?!?!?!
Help!

Proper steps to reset the mini:
# Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
# Restart (Control-Command-Power).
# Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds)
to reset the SMC:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
Now if these to not work, the next thing i would try is uninstalling the fan management software and unplugging everything except the K/V/and mouse/

Mac Pro wakes up on its own!

I have had my Mac Pro for over two years, but only since maybe two weeks ago have I had this issue. I always put the computer to sleep when I'm not using it, but lately it will wake up "on its own" with the least provocation. The most frequent catalyst is static electricity, when I feel a spark from touching my doorknob, or turning on my lamp, or taking off my sweater, the computer will turn on, even if I'm a few feet away. Plugging the power cable into my nearby MacBook will do it too. And I think, though I can't remember exactly, that it sometimes happens without anything electrical happening nearby, just seemingly at random! Does anyone know if I can do anything about this?

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
Check the printer queue!"
Good Luck!  DALE

Mac Pro shut down on its own, then on boot up it beeped steadily for 2 min?

I put my 2009 Mac Pro to sleep then the next day I find it completely shut down! I boot it up and then I hear a steady beep (every second) for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes the beeping went away.
Any idea what caused Mac Pro to shut down on its own? And what does the steady beeping mean? The beeping is coming from inside the Mac Pro's speakers, not from my BOSE 5 computer speakers.
I don't think there was a power outage as the UPS is fully charged, and I asked a neighbor across the street.

I wasn't clear in my description, it's a steady continuous beep, it's a rhythmic beep -- it'll do this for 200 beeps or about 2-4 minutes.

Iphone 3gs shuts down & reboots on its own.

The 2 yr old iphone 3gs shuts down on its own and the silver apple icon pops up ~ the phone boots itself up. This has been happening more frequently, since Dec 2010. I could be on the internet, or using any app and it does this. A couple times I had to simutaneously hold down the power and home buttons to turn on the phone, and, or, unfreeze the phone. I always charge my phone, and regularly sync it with the latest upgrade(s). What is going on?

I had this, but I have now rectified the issue. It's an app?
I de-selected all my apps and just left the standard ones on.
I did a full restore from backup but did not sync any apps.
Problem solved, no more dropped calls. No more apple logo for no reason.
I am slowly re-adding my apps, 1 or 2 at a time, I have over 150 so it may take a while but so far I have reloaded about 10 of my most used ones and still everything fine. I will find the one that caused the problem eventually!!
Happy bunny again though, as I have a phone that can actually make a call for more than 5 minutes!!

Lenovo Ideapad A3000 reboots on its own.

I received my Ideapad A3000 a few days ago via online shopping. Everything is working fine except for one (disgraceful) problem. Whenever I charge my tablet it develops some kind of tendency to restart on its own, like, when I unlock it while it is charging using the power button it restarts on its own (no I do not press the power button for too long). This has also happened once when it wasn't even charging. Please help me out with the situation as once I was downloading a huge file and it was almost complete and bam! the tab restarted and I lost all that downloaded stuff and had to do it again.
Thanks in advance!

Does nobody have an answer for this?Is it just a software glitch we need to take in and have replaced, or is it something I can fix? PLease someone help, this phone is really getting on my last nerve!

HP 2140 Mini reboots on its own...

Hello everybody, I need your help.
My HP2140 Mini reboots on its own after being shut down. This only happens when it's on AC-Power, not when on battery power only. It's due to a software glitch and not due to a faulty power supply.
I had this problem once before and was able to get ahold of a software fix that stopped it from doing it. That software fix came directly from HP and was emailed to all HP2140 Mini owners.
Since I had to reinstall the Operating System again, that software fix is now gone and I don't have the email anymore.
Can anyone help?
