--- Quote from: Amra on June 12, 2003, 04:37:04 pm ---If you have an ATX Power power connector (you can tell because it is two rows of wires) on your MB, then you have have it in your BIOS. If you only have an AT Connector (has only one row of wires) then you wont be able to use Auto Power Down, no matter what OS you use, instead you will get a screen that says "it is now safe to turn off your PC". --- End quote --- This is not entirely accurate. I've seen computers with an ATX power supply that did not support ACPI shutdown. The computer would completely turn off when you click start -> shutdown but you couldn't press the power button to make it shutdown properly (and yes it was set right in control panel). ACPI support is largely determined by the bios but also requires an ATX powersupply. Both must be true for it to work. Some bioses are "supposed" to support ACPI but are buggy and the functionality was disabled for these in windows. (windows actually maintains an internal list of problematic bioses) |
