Asus Desktop Computer Power Button Not Working

To try out many hard-drives on the ASUS VivoPC VM40B-02 Desktop Computer all with distros of Linux while keeping Win 8 untouch...

I bought this to replace a GL10CS-DB762 Desktop Tower, so far it runs amazingly well. I typically run Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, & Illustrator) along with 3 - 24 HP Monitors while simultaneously streaming YouTube videos, running Microsoft Outlook and multiple Excel Spreadsheets. I have not noticed any slow down in performance running all of these tasks at the same time. I did immediately add a 2nd 1tb SSD Drive ( Model #WDS100T2X0E). My only concern is that they did not provide the screw (neither ASUS nor the HD Manufacturer) to secure the SN850X to the motherboard, fortunately I had one in my computer parts drawer. Other than that, I'm loving the i9 Processor and 32b RAM (2x16gb chips). My last 3 work computers have all been ASUS ROG and I've had amazing success with each one of them. I would highly recommend buying from BH Photo Video, they shipped my computer the same day and it arrived in perfect condition.

It was a big leap to go from working exclusively on a laptop to having a desktop computer. I got all the features I wanted and am impressed by the speed of my new computer, and the ease of set-up.

I purchased two of these and configured them as a mirrored pair in my desktop computer that I use primarily for photo processing. Working very well so far.

I needed to install a SATA drive in a desktop computer, but had not spare SATA power feeds, only molex. This did the job!

Bought one for desktop computer and one for my DirecTV box. Compact size with adequate power to do what I needed.

I just bought this less than a week ago and we just had a power outage the other night and it performed perfectly. I have a a desktop computer, monitor and inkjet printer connected to the battery backup side and I had plenty of time to shut everything down properly. It also caught the power surges that were coming before the power went completely out. It's also a lot lighter than the unit it replaced, so it's much easier to handle and position to where you need it. I will buy another one when I need to replace another unit.

Unlike most reviewers, I have years of experience with this model. The display has changed a bit over the years but it's still the same. My location has about weekly power interruptions from limbs striking power lines, and without these a Windows desktop could be wiped out. A laptop couldn't care less. The screen might get a bit dim over the years, and the reassuring 100 percent reading on the battery charge can't be trusted after about 5 years. The battery is super simple to change, and cheap. I recommend that at 5 years you test the capacity by plugging in something like a floor lamp and pulling the plug, to see how long it lasts. Don't even think about getting a UPS that doesn't have Sinewave' in the description, because it's cruel to your equipment. I'm reviewing this, the fourth one, which I just got for a granddaughter who is an architect and using a powerful computer I built her. The unit can only handle 600 watts but actual measurements of the computer's and monitor's power needs show that this will do the job. If you are in a thunderstorm or the lights are flickering, you should power down a desktop anyway.

Just what I needed to up the power of my new Dell desktop computer to do some heavy duty CPU work.

I bought this for my daughters desktop because her last one was damaged when the power went off several times which happens in our area. This has helped save the computer many times.
