    Hi all,

    I have a PC from a friend recently.
    The PSU is connected to the wall main power socket that comes with a switch button on the jack.

    Whenever I switch on the ON/OFF button on the wall jack, the PC auto powered on as well. This happens on the other wall jack with ON/OFF switch button as well.

    Anyone knew how to stop the PC from auto powering on this way?

    Your help is appreciated!
