Why does my PC turn on when I turn on the PSU?
To list a few common causes for your issues are: Cables, or plug not properly attached. Bad motherboard/ Corrupt BIOS Chip. Incompatible parts for your Power Supply Unit/ PSU (parts draw more electricity than your PSU has).
Look in the BIOS for an option related to “After Power Loss”, where options would be “Auto power On”, or , “Power Off”. ALso, make sure “Wake on LAN” is off, unless you need it.
Why does my computer turn on automatically when I plug it in?
Could be a motherboard issue, a front panel switch or switch wiring issue, PSU issue, wake-on-something enabled in the BIOS that gets triggered as soon as the PSU gets power, the BIOS being configured to automatically turn the computer on, maybe more.
When a computer is booting up what is the first thing that happens when you press the power button?
You press the power button and the power supply turns on. Once the system receives a “Power Good” signal from the power supply, the CPU will seek instructions from the BIOS about initializing the system and the BIOS will start interfacing with the hardware.

How do I fix my computer when it starts automatically?
At “Start” -> “Computer” –> right click on “Properties”, and then tap “Advanced system settings”. In the advanced options of the system context menu, click on “Settings” for Startup and Recovery. In Startup and Recovery, uncheck the “Automatically restart” for system failure. Click “OK” after unchecking the checkbox.
Can a PSU turn on by itself?
Yes, it’s possible. The bad PSU (power supply) can cause an uneven power surge to the rest of the computer, including the motherboard and/or GPU. But I highly doubt that the PSU (power supply unit) damaged the motherboard.. when a PSU fails, it usually just dies itself and the motherboard isn’t effected.
