Newly built PC. ga-z170x-gaming-7 motherboard. PC is plugged into a surge protector with an on-off switch. I like to flip that switch to save power. However, if I do, I run into problems on my next startup. Usually my pc will start to powerup, shutdown, re-powerup and display a UEFI window stating my pc failed to boot and I'll have the option to load default BIOS settings or to enter the BIOS. I usually enter bios then exit without saving and everything is fine. Once I was greeted with a Windows 10 screen asking me to insert my recovery disk. I ignored this and restarted and again everything was fine.
For now I'm just keeping the power strip on, but I'd really like to know what's going on. I've disabled all the Wake options in BIOS (LAN, Keyboard, Mouse) and enabled ErP. This is the first PC I've had that seems to need power supplied to it even after a shutdown.
