Asus Z97 Pro Keyboard+Mouse Starting computer?

[jkteddy77]

I have the Asus Z97 Pro with a 4790k installed. I have employed the defualt XMP Bios, as I still don't have proper cooling to OC. Basically all of the settings are stock except for Ram Timing, and all cores have been synced.

If the computer is off, and I hit any key on my Keyboard (microsoft sidewinder X4) or any button on my Mouse (Logitech G502 Proteus Core) BOTH USB, the computer will start from a shutdown state and power on. Every time I bump my desk, or accidentally hit either device, my PC will start up at un-opportune times.

I have searched my Asus UEFI Bios, and cannot find a solution. I could certainly just disable both as a startup device, but then neither will wake my computer if I let it sleep (whic h I like to do)

How can I instruct my Mobo/PC (can't narrow down the issue) to NOT Boot my PC with Keyboard/Mouse interface, but ALLOW both to wake the PC sleep? I also don't want to unitialize them in Bios, since I have no PS/2 mouse or keyboard, so I need them active in UEFI before startup just so I can navigate the UEFI interface...

Is this a Bios option? If so, where can I locate it in Asus Z97 Bios interface. If not, What is causing this?

The ability to wake from sleep is controlled by the operating system. You can disable the "allow this device to wake the computer" option in "properties" for the USB device in question.

No man... I WANT it to wake the computer. Whats going on is that my USB keyboard and mouse, just by tapping a key, is able to start the computer up from a complete shut down state...
I still want to be able WAKE the PC with K+M when the PC goes to sleep, but not POWER ON the PC from its powered off state...

Sounds like your PC is in hybrid/hibernate mode and not "shut down".

hmm... but when I completely shut it down it still does it... should I just disable Hybrid/hibernate mode in the powersaving settings and see if that helps? I'm already in High Performance, but I think hibernate mode is still off...(I'm not new to this, I just need some help snooping around in the right places)

EDIT: Hibernation is already disabled :/ what could make it boot up from a completely shut down state with the click of a mouse or the tap of a spacebar...actually ANY key... Hmm...

I don't know if you've found the cause of this issue by now, but I thought I'd post the solution for anyone else who's having the same problem, like myself earlier today.

I couldn't find anything obvious in the BIOS, so I disabled the 'Turn on fast start-up' feature in the shut-down settings. This has stopped my PC coming to life every time I accidently knock my keyboard or mouse!

Same problem with Z97 Pro. In BIOS APM options are all diabled, but PC gets started by itself from any USB device signal.

I've got Z97 Pro and had this issue. General workaround seems to be either disable "Fast-Startup" from the shutdown settings of the BIOS, or disable the Asmedia USB 3.0 drivers that seem to keep them active when the PC is off with fast start enabled.

Personally, I just uninstalled the Asmedia USB 3.0 drivers, and your PC will default to Microsoft USB 3.0 default drivers. Works he exact same, you couldn't tell a difference (unless you use some of the USB features like fast charge or faster file transfer speed often)
No more starting PC by moving K+M, and I get to keep my 15 second boot speed.

Should be set in BIOS with "USB Keyboard / Remote Power On" also turn off "Fast Startup" and ErP Power Management on if it still does not work as desired..
