Restarts After Outage Even Though Set Not To in BIOS ???
One of our Dell Optiplex 780 mini-tower machines has the bad and dangerous habit of restarting itself whenever the power goes out or is turned off for whatever reason.
This is not at all very desirable behavior in this 3rd world rural area where the power may surge rapidly off and on several times during an outage.
The machine is definitely set to remain OFF after an outage, yet it ignores this setting and restarts anyway.
How can I fix this ?
I thought I might set it to automatically restart, restart it a few times, then set it back to not automatically restart; do you guys think that might do the trick ?
Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.
