I have the same board (P2B-F), and what I've noticed is that when I
power up from a power cord switch, I have to manually turn on the case
power switch on (the computer initially starts up but immediately shuts
off), if I don't, the computer stays off (although there is power to the
computer) & the monitor goes into a sleep mode.  BTW, the initial
computer on mode is really short (~5 sec), so the monitor never comes
on.  On Win 95 shut down, the computer shuts off automatically before
the "it is now safe to shut off your computer" screen. You may also want
to look at the "Power Management Setup" in the manual (p. 48)--I've
never fiddled with mine, so it's set at whatever the BIOS default is...
