I have a question about Dealing
with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM):
I have just built my first PC, everything has gone well apart from when I shut down
I get the message that "it is safe to turn off your monitor" but on my other computer
it automatically shuts down.
I have checked in the power options and under the advanced tab the "Power Buttons"
section is missing,
so I can not set the computer to shut down the PC (apart) from pressing the ON/OFF
button, does anybody have any idea how I can view the information.
Checked BIOS under power management and changed from "user define" to "disable" but
this has no effect, the motherboard is a ASUS P5A Super7 (BIOS flashed to V1007A).
I have looked in the Control Panel and selected APM (put a tick in the box) next
time I went in the tick is removed, will not stay selected, and still no power buttons
selection in the advance tab.
In the BIOS I have the following options in the "Power Management" section:
POWER MANAGEMENT:
1.User Define
2.Max Saving (alters PM Timers when selected)
3.Min Saving (alters PM Timers when selected)
4.Disable
VIDEO OFF OPTION:
1. Always on
2. All Modes = OFF
3. Susp, Stby = OFF
4. Suspend = OFF
VIDEO OFF METHOD
1. DPMS Reduce On
2. DPMS OFF
3. DPMS Suspend
4. DPMS Stand By
5. V/H Sync+Blank
6. Blank Screen
I have tried toggling the above selections but this makes no difference to the power
settings in XP,
I can still NOT see the Power Buttons section which would enable the power off option
on shut down.
