Yeah, just kill the switch in the back, that's what I do when I'm done with my computer. The computer is always drawing power, depending on your power supply it'll take more or less. |

Mine does this too, and I think it may be intentional. It's very useful for cordless mice.
If you can't stand it you could always cut the power via the switch on the power supply itself. |

Everything on my PC works fine, but when I turn the thing off, power is output to devices that really don't need it (my keyboard/mouse, speakers, etc.)
now, before, this really wasn't a problem -- shut off the speakers, and turn off caps lock/num lock/scroll lock, and the speakers and keyboard wouldn't use any power anyway. but now I just bought a new mouse (my first mouse with more than 3 buttons! It's got 5) It's an optical mouse. Now, I know it may not cost too much on the electric bill, but the laser/lights on my mouse are always on as long as they are plugged in. Even if I shut down the system. is there any way I can set it not to output power from the PS2 ports? Any other way to stop the power output? Or am I stuck unplugging all my peripherals after I turn off my PC? thanks in advance... |
