Hardware Issue
I'm trying to help a friend out , he got a new usb2.0 pci card for his old comp he's trying to use it for ipod useage and so on. Whenever he powers his computer down from windows xp , the computer turns itself back on again. These troubles started when he added the new usb2.0 pci card, I thought that it might be a setting that he could turn off which I've seen before and messed around with myself when I was having my own computer troubles, in where you can tell the xp to not let that individual hardware wake the entire system, it's one of those uncheckables but I couldn't remember for the life of me how to access that again. If you know of what I'm talking about could you please post the directions of doing so here so I can help my bud out.

Re: Hardware Issue
If he pulls the pci card out the computer behaves normally, i'll have to ask about whether or not this occurs if something is plugged to it.

Re: Hardware Issue
for wake up from usb device:
To manually disable the Wake from standby option for the USB device, start Device Manager, right-click the USB driver, click Properties, and then click to de-select the Allow this device to wake the system from standby check box. Would be my safest bet right now... |

Re: Hardware Issue
Only thing there Mikis is that he mentioned hes powering the computer down entirely not just putting it in standby. When the machine is in a powered off state the only thing that can change that state is the BIOS of the machine since the OS isnt even resident in memory.
You may have a wacky setting in your BIOS somewhere that has a wake on USB mouse or keyboard activity setting but they are usually inactive by default on all my BIOS's.
