A few people have said this to me actually, why not just leave them live or turn them off at the mains. I have a few reasons:
1) My previous motherboard did not do this, it shut the lot down and I kinda felt happier when it did this
2) It uses power and is a fire risk in my opinion
3) (One of the main reasons) My microsoft mouse is wireless and its a bit dim, it uses normal batteries and if the base unit LED is still lit then th mouse stays active and on and does not auto shut off. This means my batteries drain very quickly.
4) My PC is pressed flush against the wall so getting to the power switch is a bit of a pain
I know these reasons may seem a bit lame.
So basically I get a DOS boot floppy from one of thoose sites, select boot pattern in dos to start at a:\ and then I will get and a: promt, do I need to search on the floppy for the files? then just find the .exe one?
Im a bit of a novice at this BIOS flashing and dont want to ruin my new motherboard.
