Power On by mouse


I have a PC  with a Gigabyte Motherboard

BIOS setup has a function named  " POWER ON BY MOUSE "

with two options  --  1) DISABLED    2) Double-Click

mouse emits a red light before the PC is turned on by the power switch

how do i turn on the PC with a mouse by double click

( i dont want a solution to power on from sleep state)

From a manual (http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-p55a-ud3_v2.0_e.pdf)

"Power On By Mouse
Allows the system to be turned on by a PS/2 mouse wake-up event.
Note: To use this function, you need an ATX power supply providing at least 1A on the +5VSB lead.
Disabled Disables this function. (Default)
Double Click Double click on left button on the PS/2 mouse to turn on the system."

If you have that enabled, and doubleclicking the left mouse button on your PS/2 connected mouse isn't working... I'd guess the power supply isn't providing the necessary power.  Doesn't look like there is anything special needed...

well i want to start the PC from S5 state  , from other states it can resume itself , because in all of them motherboard draws some power ..


but when i press the switch on the wall  which is connected to the power chord ...
and then press the keyboard  it does not work ....

i want to start my computer  by pressing the mouse button after  a complete shutdown ( only with power from power source, mouse emits a red light)  


it can resume itself from hibernate ,sleep , standby etc ( because they are not complete shutdown)
correction

but when i press the switch on the wall  which is connected to the power  chord ...
and then press the MOUSE (double click)  it does not work ....

thank you now my query is solved
I have one more question but

as you said  :

Machine is shutdown by physically removing the flow of power to the  computer (in this case, pressing the switch on the wall) -- double  clicking the mouse does NOT work.  (This is also expected, because the  motherboard does not continue to receive power.)

but then i again press the switch on the wall then mouse starts emitting a red light ...
the mouse is connected to the motherboard , if the mouse is recieving power the motherboard should also be recieving power .

So why dosent it work ????

What model power supply does your system have?
model of power supply ,  please elaborate  
exactly what information should i give ???

which SMPS do i have or something else
i have a PS/2 keboard of logitech
sorry PS/ mouse of Logitech

wat is a multimeter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter
A useful device used to detect and confirm the current, in this case the supply of 1A current on the +5VSB lead.
