computer won't turns on when network cable is plugged in

I have a computer that won't turns on when the network cable is plugged in.
If I unplug the network cable the computer will turn on.  I plug the network cable back in and all works fine.  The nic is on the AcerPower Series mother board.

Is there any way to fix this?  
Or do I need to just disable the nic card on the mother board?

In your bios setup, verify that whether you have enabled the boot from network. If so disable it.

I would suggest removing the NIC from the motherboard and then see if the issues persist. It could be a partly burned NIC.

Ravi.
can you explain to what the network cable connects?  if to a multi-port router, try another port
and try another cable as well !
