You cannot have a psu that is both on and off at the same time, you're asking something that doesn't make sense.

LOL. Never said I want it to be on and off at the same time. Huh

well you kinda said it, because you want if off when the miner is on, which mean that the psu should be on for the miner and off for the pc...and it doesn't make sense at all

just buy another psu if you don't want to run the pc all the time, or try sleep mode/stanby

Why would you shut down a PC anyway? Just put it on standby or low power mode. PSU should still provide some juice to keep a miner going.

Not looking for the jumper trick to keep a standalone PS running.

What I'm looking for is to keep a Power supply running on a miner, while the PC which is also running off the same power supply is shut down.

I want to power a PC and miner from the same PS, but if the PC is shut down, I need the PS to be on for the miner to still run.

Any ideas?

I really do not see a possible way for that to work. The second you jumper the attached PSU it would fire up the pc, and when you kill the pc it stops the miner. Just get a cheap 2nd PSU is your only option.

I don't see any way of getting around this. You could cant really do the jumper trick since the PC needs the motherboard plug. I think only way is to keep PC on at full times to.

Also what miner are you trying to power?
