Sadly, it has current BIOS. It's an older motherboard, and my guess is that it's a hardware deficiency. In order to make the "decision" to power the motherboard on following application of power, some circuit on the motherboard (CPU, whatever) needs to receive power. If no such circuit is powered, we're toast. No amount of software can make a dead lump of silicon compute. I have the same motherboard in my machine at work, and it has the same problem. I've thought about wiring up a switch circuit that will close the soft-power switch circuit for 0.1 second or so following the application of power... Andy -- Andrew J.
