Question Aorus Z490 Pro Gaming - after power failure not reboot

[litwicki23]

Hi. My mtboard: Aorus Z490 Pro Gaming
psu: Seasonic Tx-850 Prime Titanium


I went into the BIOS and changed the setting "AC BACK" to "always-on", which works when I plug the cables in and out, turn off the power via the PS button or when flipping my power strip switch. However, when there is a real power failure, the PC would not power itself back on until I physically push the power on button, I have tested this twice and got the same results.


I am not sure what is going on and how exactly can the motherboard distinguish between a power failure in my house and me just pulling the power cord, does anybody have any idea what is happening?

What BIOS version are you working with at the time of writing? You might want to invest in an UPS for all intents and purposes(if you haven't).
