power button delay

[chrusher97]

Hi im just wondering if its possible to change the power button so that it turns off the computer right away instead of you having to hold it down for 5 seconds or so. I tried looking in the BIOS settings but cant seem to find anything. I have an ASUS K8V SE if that helps.

thanks

Is it that hard to hold it down 5 secs? lol j/k If you can, than it will be in bios, but I have not heard of this.

Should be in Bios under Power Management Setup (or something similar) Find the Power Button Function and choose Instant Off instead of Delay 4 Seconds.

It's definitely in bios...4 second delay.

You do know it's there for a reason, right? Don't complain if you BBQ your board/burner/etc via hard shutdown mid-flash.
