I am tired of my home server turning off on me while I am away at work or school.
What i want to do is design a circuit that will wait a minute (or a couple minutes) and then essentially push my power button to turn it on again. one idea i have is pretty much base it on if i cant sense 5v for a USB port then press the power button for a few seconds, if i could power the circuit off of the standby power for the motherboard then that way whenever the power supply turned on after a power outage, the circuit would press the button and start the compter.
so, long story short i need to make a circuit powered by +5v Standby from a 24 pin connector that can sense if +5v is on or off and if its off give me a voltage to press the power button.
