I just bought this motherboard (ASRock ALiveNF6G-VSTA). The main issue with it is that it powers on immediately after I turn the PSU on. XP installed just fine, but when I shut down it tells me "Now it's safe to turn off the computer". I updated the BIOS to the latest version, but that made no difference. Also I cleared the cmos settings and checked the ACPI options in BIOS. XP does not show the APM option in "Power Options". Is there someting obvious i'm missing?

Try changing the PS2 jumper (top left) settings.
