P5AD2 Premium phantom restart problem

[Dave Horoschak]

I'm having a problem with a newly installed P5AD2 that restarts itself.
After shutting down WinXP, the system fully powers down (fans off,
etc.) for about 30 seconds and then it starts itself back up. Toggling
the switch on the power supply off-on after it shuts down will keep it
from starting up again.

Per some other suggestions I've seen, I've set the two automatic
overclocking settings to Standard and I've turned off AiBooster, but
neither helped. I'm running firmware 1006.

Enabling and disabling wake on keyboard/mouse doesn't make a difference.

Has any else seen this before?

Thanks.

Are ALL of the "Power on by" settings in the BIOS Disabled?

 

[Dave Horoschak]

Unless there are some in places other than on the APM screen, yes - they
are all disabled.

Mine works fine and is set as follows:
Suspend Mode - Auto
Repost Vodeo on S3 Resume - No
ACPI 2.0 Support - No
ACPI APIC Support - Enabled

Restore on AC Power Loss - Power Off
the rest are all disabled

The only other things I can think of are a noisy power supply or a defective
motherboard.

Someone have resolved that problem?

Haven't resolved it, but I'm experiencing the exact same problem on a P5GD2
deluxe. I have had one time, where it actually made the shutdown, in that
case i configured AI booster to standard just before shutting down. Then I
removed AI booster and made all the same settings as described by Dave, but
the problem continues. I haven't tried to reinstall XP yet, it might do the
trick if I don't install AI booster? Btw, AI booster makes this endless loop
error message: "-" is not a valid integer... Anyone got a solution for that?

Regards, Morten

FYI - I've been through a few rounds w/ Asus tech support and their
thought is that it's a bad MB and they're going to replace it.

I'll let you know how that turns out.

I have the same problems on my P5AD2 deluxe (Bios v1005).
Turning XP off pressing the power on button, on front of the case, the
board turn on again immediately or sometimes just after 30 sec
After that, I turn off again the pc by frontal button and at last the
mobo remains turned odd.

The same system and same software was running on a P4P800E Deluxe and
all was OK.

I think it is a Bios bug.
