I am seriously at my limit spent 3 days I still cant figure it out, done probably 100 reboots. Contacted ASUS Support they are useless still in contact with them in troubleshooting this matter.
This is my issue.
When I hit the Power Button my screen goes black, before a bios revision it would just reboot my computer. YES I have set Power Options, Power Button to shut down computer.
I noticed I am missing a Sleep Button Action as its not in my menus. Maybe this could be a leading reason why this is happening? Anyone know how to get this option to show up?
I have used another computer cases front panel and same issue occurs so it cannot be my front panel.
I have a gut feeling the OS ACPI is completely being ignored when it comes to what the Power Button should do, if I set it to Sleep/Hibernate/Shut Down SAME thing still occurs.
I have got the Power Button to work successfully maybe 8 times out of the 100. It actually Logged off, Saved Settings and Turned of Computer as what I am trying to get it to do.
I have reinstalled the ACPI driver from ASUS but nothing changed. Have the latest BIOS Revision as well. I have removed battery and cleared CMOS as well. Also loaded default BIOS settings.
My System:
HAF 922
Phenom II 955
M4A79XTD EVO AM3
G Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600
750GB WD Black Cavier
1TB Green Cavier
320GB Cavier
Logitech Illuminated Keyboard (Maybe can use ACPI I think dont know if it can conflict?)
Weird thing, guy at ASUS told me to set it to "S1 Only" in BIOS and it actually worked twice, third time I hit the power button it went back to same behavior.
I noticed my chances are higher for it to turn off properly when the power options advanced settings window is open for some reason.
Lately my PC has been weird, whenever i launch any game my computer just turns off but in a verry unusual way, The Screen goes black, the pc fans stop spinning, nothing is working, but my power button is still bright blue (showing that the pc is still on but its not), i press the button, nothing happens and if i un-plug the power cable, the power button stays on for about 10 seconds, then when i plug the power cable back in the pc turns on just normally like every time, but i still get crash if i launch a game, this is my pc Configuration: [code] This has been happening for a couple months now and its getting verry annoying, i'm thinking of buying a gaming PC but that costs 3,000 and i need a good working PC while i save up money.I have reinstalled Windows a few weeks after the problem accoured, it did not fix it. I also updated all my drivers, still not working...
I want to know if i can remove the power button from the bottom of the welcome/locked screen as my lovely 2 year old keeps turning my PC off it its lock or on the welcome screen, I have a lockable door on my PC case so he can't get at that power button so this is the only thing we can think is its the power button on the welcome screen.

Last night my husband used his acer laptop successfully. Today when he went to use it the browser was open as usual to the yahoo home page. He hit the refresh button and the screen went black and the spinning circle is all that shows. He tried rebooting it and again nothing happens.
I have had this labtop since december and this morning the power button and caps lock button comes on but screen is black... the caps lock button is flashing!! Wifi button is also on just nothing is coming up on screen at all!! I do not understand!! I have unplugged it and powered off and on several times
I believe this problem was caused by CCleaner/Revouninstaller, that's the only thing that did changes to my system before this happens. I tried searching for solutions on Google, and I found this guy with the exact same problem.(url) (Screenshot provided by him, perhaps this can help better understand my problem) Tried System Repair/Restore and Safe Mode, none worked. I followed up with a " Last known good config " option, but the problem is still there.
I've has thisl issue with a Compaq Presario cq56-115dx black screen at power on,everything else seems to power up, caps light blinks showing what it could be that's not working as noted above on hp's support link however this model of laptop/notebook will not make a beeping sound, never did when the monitor would power up correctly. I installed ssd new mobo still black screen replaced ram,checked connection ac/dc you name it still black screen no Compaq logo nada. I contacted hp no reply. HP no warranty and no assistance policy. I'm think its lg LCD/monitor not sure if customer overheated unit, no spills where found inside reply
I have 2 samsung22 monitors hooked up to a 8800gtx running on windows7 64bit. The problem I've had ever since going to windows7 is 1 monitor works, the other just black screen with power on. I've gone into nvidia control panel and also through windows and it shows both monitors present but I noticed one monitor is attached through an analog cable but both are hooked up with the dvi cables. Could my card have a bad port?
when I plug in monitor 2 in the r/s dvi port it shows the right side desktop portion of the extended view and when I switch to monitor 1 on the right side dvi port it shows the left side desktop view but nothing comes up when attached to the left side dvi port. I've taken a snap shot of my desktop and it shows both screens. I've tried older drivers as far back to 170's and nothing worked.
i've tried to set the option for pressing the power button to 'Do Nothing' so no body can shut the computer, and yet it shuts down by pressing the button, so why is that and how can i work this out?
My daughter has a Hp laptop and it was working fine, but the screen was coming apart. so my husband put it back together, Now it will not come on. It's getting some power but not coming on at the power button. The lights flashes when you push the button then nothing.
Got my computer back from having its PSU fixed, and this is happening.When I press the power button, it powers on for a second, then off, then back on again automatically and actually stays on this time. It does this every time.
i've had Windows 7 now since release, i've had nearly no problems at all.just sometimes my computer turns itself off without any notice.when i then reboot it again, nothing happens, the computer stays on, but i still have to reboot by pushing the power button... THEN it boots up, and when it does it says: "Resuming Windows" and what bothers me then is the boot-time...it's taking almost 4-5 minutes ( normally around 30 seconds boot ) just to boot it up then, after a while it then works fine again...once again, theese "reboots" are completely random... happens rarely, perhaps once a month.ay ideas?*EDIT*Forgot to say that i reinstalled windows recently ( 4-5 weeks ago ) to try and see if anything changed...it didn't.Specs:Intel Core2 Duo, E8500ATI Radeon 4800 Series4gb DDR2 RAMWindows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1
My aunt got a lap top, can't remember the name of it. It's running win7 64-bit.When you press the power button, instead of turning off, it just goes into standby.
The power button on my PC has stopped working as it used to. Pressing the power button on my PC would normally send the PC to sleep, then pressing it again would wake it.Two things I have noticed
1) My PC stopped automatically going to sleep like it used to (after 1 hour) as set in the power setting's of the control panel - I have to manually "Shut Down" or "Sleep" from start menu now.
2) Pressing the power button, now just restart's the computer, greeting me with a "Windows did not shut down correctly" message after the BIOS post.
After the initial install of windows (if I remember correctly) the power button did not do anything unitl the ACPI drivers where installed (giving a message in the action centre saying "You need to install the power management"), after installing the ACPI drivers (Cool & Quiet from the ASUS site) the power button appeared to work as expected.Then randomly, a while ago, I got another message in the Action Centre, again saying "You need to install the power management ....", but I archived the message and am not sure how to view it again.Im not sure as to why this would start happening as it would suggest something has happened with the ACPI drivers and I dont know how I can actually check ACPI drivers in the device manager console. Also, is cool n quiet something specific to ASUS motherboards? I dont think I had this problem with a previous MSI board.#
i'm looking for an external hard disk with a power off/on button ?about usb2 or 3 , i don't mind.i would like a button to power on and when i don't want to use a power off
I've got this problem for a while now. Sometimes, out of nowhere my whole computer crashes. And sometimes it doesn't even start up. I've attached one of the latest dumps, the only crash that generated a dump because it's a freeze, not a BSOD or a crash.
What can be done with a PC that won't respond when you pressed the power-on button. Looking at back of the PC, the light of the power supply is on, but the power-on light goes out almost instantly after pressing it.
my lenovo laptop is not starting when i press power button it start showing lenovo flash screen then stop working showing a blink in left side of screen
I am using Lenovo Ideapad g460 windows 7 home premium. From last 3 days it just hangs without showing any error, most of the time the screen is black with all the lights on. I try to press ctrl+alt+del but nothing works not a single key except the power button works.
I have check my even viewer only one error I have found most of the time this error is there Event ID 7026 with following details The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: TPPWRIF. I have tried to find this file TPPWRIF in my system but its not there. I was using preinstalled Mcafee AV but now I am using BitDefender (paid) AV. I am also using IObit Security 360.
Every now and then, my system just completely freezes, I can't anything. I can't even restart by pressing the Power button. I don't think it happens when I do a certain task, everything freezes one by one or window by window. Just as an example, first Windows Media Player will freeze then FireFox then Explorer and then the Windows Gadgets and the last to freeze is the cursor. I have no choice but to hold in the Power to hard shutdown my PC. Could this be because of my old motherboard or is it my hard drive crashing? I have 2 HDD, 250Gb each, the HDD that has windows on has about 70Gb free.
I originally set my power button to "shut down" in the right click taskbar>properties>start menu>power button action
drop down menu. but now whether i choose switch user, sleep, hibernate, log off, it always shuts down. the button on my laptop is super sensitive and i just don't want it to power off anymore, i've accidentally hit it one too many times.
