Witchboard:

Just for clarification... is your mouse and keyboard PS/2 or USB?

SoundDoc:

a lot of pc power on questions lately...  ;D

as Witchboard said, is it PS/2 or USB?

also, check your mb manual.
Many manufacturers support KB power on, but also have a jumper(s) on the MB to supply power to the PS/2 connector or the USB connector when the machine is off. These normally default to not supplying power.
You may need to move the appropriate jumper.

DaveJ-UK:

I have the same problem, although I haven't tested power on mouse. It's an MSI board P4MAM-L I think. It's definitely set in the BIOS so I think it's likely to be the jumper. Else it needs a BIOS update.

SoundDoc:

DaveJ- Again, is it a ps/2 or usb keyboard. It looks like that mb, a P4MAM-L does SUPPORT wake from KB, but there are no jumpers on it for selecting power. It may have only wake from standby support. If I come across anything I'll let you know.
