How to get my pc to reboot if it looses power...

[darkcyber]

Ok, I have a pc with a Foxconn 650/651 M02 Series motherboard in it and I run a Halo game server on it. It is remotely located and it is on a ups. But when the power is out for a long enough period and the ups drains down..the pc dies. Is there anyway that I can fix this so once the power comes back on the pc will boot back up?

Thanks!

Check the BIOS, some motherboards have a setting in the bios, that will power it back on after a power loss. Might be some other settings in there that will power it on as well.

Yes, there is a Resume Power State option in the BIOS. On E7505 mobos, there are three options: stay off, resume last state, or stay on. That is the option in my BIOS at any rate.

Well, I guess this board will not do it...this is the closes thing to something like that in the manual:

* Wake on LAN, USB, keyboard & mouse
* STD (Suspend-to-Disk)
* STR (Suspend-to-RAM)
* SuperRecovery, SuperBoot, SuperBIOS-Protect
* BIOS SuperSpeed, SuperStep, SuperUpdate

Enter the Bios
Power Management Setup -> Restore On AC Power Loss -> On (or Last State)
