I got same problem with my ATX case. I have Gigabyte GA7VAX board w/AMD XP1900 CPU.
It works perfectly fine on automatic shut down till I bought a nice new Logitech
Wireless Duo Keyboard/Opticial Mouse. Now it won't automatically shut down. I noticed
that after holding button for 4 second shutdown, system shut off completely except
for Mouse/Keyboard wireless receiver still lit on. I decided to remove it and use
old Cordless Logitech Keboard and Mouse. I powered it up and shut it down and it
works the way it supposed to do, automatically shut off ATX system. It have NOTHING
to do with BIOS settings (even tried disable Keyboard and Mouse "wake on" ) (also
reflashed BIOS to newer version too, still no avail). I've done several ways but
no luck with new Logitech Wireless Duo Keyboard/mouse. So Blames goes to Logitech
for using "live power" function that prevent ATX power to shut down system completely.
(Logitech cust. svc is lousy, no E-mail response!!) Could it be that a cheap 300
watt ATX power supply that came with $25 CPU case from computer store? I have not
tried getting a more expensive power supply.
Using Linux Mandrake 9.1 and Redhat 9.0 (two different hddr). It shut down the
ATX system completely with Logitech Wireless Duo connected with no problem!!?? Sound
like M$ have problem with it. (Hey! sorry for being in wrong Windows Forum cuz I'm
using Win ME OS, not Win 98 but Win ME is like Win 98 3rd edition anyway so thought
to throw in my experience with the ATX auto-shutoff) Last of all, if you have anything
that you installed or plugged into ATX system. try take any hardware out and experiment
to see any difference. If auto-shutoff works fine after removing hardware, Then
that's the suspect.. Either exchange/replace hardware or put up and live with it
if you love your new hardware. I don't shut off my system before bed. I left it
running 24/7 except power black out :-) It won't do any harm anyway cuz I uses power
saver on to turn off monitor and HDDR after 30 min (using Home/Office Desk in Screensaver
"advance" setting) THANK You! :-)
