1.If the computer turn on automatically after it's turned off.

It is because the PCIE card slot has no power and cannot supply power to our equipment. You only need to enter your computer’s “BIOS” setting and set the computer motherboard to remain powered when the computer is shut down to solve the problem.

For example:

(1). On computer, go to BIOS settings/Anvanced/APM Configuration, change the option "ErP Ready" to "Disabled" status and change the option “Power on by PCI-E” to “enabled”.

Note: This is only the setting method for one of the mainboards. Due to too many types of computer mainboards, it is impossible to list them all. Regardless of the type of motherboard, the solution is to keep the motherboard powered after the computer is turned off.
