PC Turns On When Power Is Plugged In

Have you ever encountered a system that automatically turns on, when power was just plugged-in in your AC outlet or the AVR was just turned on? Well this may be the same case I experience weeks ago.

Its a socket 775 MOBO, actually the brand is Asrock! I was troubleshooting an intermittent unit, I notice that when I turned on the AVR, the unit automatically turns on and it display a CMOS battery bad. Although the system works just normally(except for the time and date), it is not just normal. So I replaced the CMOS battery, and to my surprise the unit does not turned on automatically anymore,the system now turns on via its switch, therefore the previous problem was caused by a drained CMOS battery.

Strange problem can sometime remedied on an unexpected manner, that's what makes my profession challenging, you will encounter unusual problem all the time.

When I power on my PC, I receive an error message stating “Please select a proper boot drive and continue”.

Problem details: Dual Core E2180 2 GHz processor, 1.87 GB of RAM and a 250 GB HDD on my PC, before my present 250 GB HDD, I had a 180 GB hard drive and with that too I had the same problem. I have a temporary solution for this — I disconnect the SATA cable and then plug it back in and also check the RAM slots subsequently. The first boot drive is set to the SATA hard drive in the BIOS. I need a permanent solution for this problem.

There can be a few possible reasons for the problem with your PC. Either the CMOS battery of your motherboard is weak or it might be dead, or there is an issue with the hard drive data or power cable. There can also be a problem with your motherboard. A virus infection could also be wiping the boot area of your hard drive. You will need to do a step-by-step analysis of your PC by changing the cables and battery and scanning for viruses.

If the CMOS battery on the motherboard is weak or dead, the BIOS settings are reset to defaults.
