January 26, 20242 yr Ok wonder if any one has a strange way to turn off your pc other than loss of power? This just happened to me during a 2 hour flight, my cat decided that she didn't want me to use the pc so she decided to turn the pc off mid flight. My pc case is a glass one with glass top and side and my cat always jumps up and sits on top since its warm. The on/off switch is on top and illuminates when on, and there is about a 1 inch gap between the top and side glass and she she just managed to just lazily just put her one paw on the switch, funny enough stupid me i was watching her do it thinking surely not 🙂 Now i have to put a cover over it now since now she know what to do grrr 4 hours later cat step on the on/off switch on the pwr button( on/off switch ) that was plugged in the adaptor power board which in turn turned off the power, took me awhile to figure why no power was going to pc till i saw the button was in the off position. think going to have to close the door and just put up with the scratching to the door 🙂 Edited January 26, 20242 yr by pete_auau I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

My cat has trod on the switch on the surge protector on my floor and shut my PC down. Regarding the PC power button, it's function changed some years ago. One quick press shuts down the PC like you would by shutting down via the start menu, and one long press sends a signal to the PSU to shut off. Long press is not a clean shutdown. The function of the button can be changed in Windows. Edited January 26, 20242 yr by martin-w

January 26, 20242 yr Lol, brought back memories of my old cat (Fluff) used to sit on top of my Marshall Valve Amp all warm and cozy, the 100 watts of 'orribly discordant punk rock guitar pouring out from the 4x12" celestion speakers didnt seem to bother her a bit (I think she might have been deaf)...I miss that cat
