how can i schedule my Pc for auto power on , i use a ASUS Bios which does not support auto power on . I can get some software for automatic shutdown .....but i havent found any solution for automatic power on from shutdown state.....can anybody help me out??

[ayush_chh]

never heard of any software for Auto power on......
thinking on it......
is it possible.......if ur system is off....how can a software run????????

auto power on is not supported by any current peripherals, but you can do auto-shutoffs by using timer softwares.

[troubleshooter]

Try auto power on & shutdown software. You have to place your system in hibernate state for the software to work.

[JGuru]

That's right. If you put your System in hibernate mode , then the software can
auto power-on. Auto-shutdown can be done by creating a task to Shutdown,
and adding it to the task-scheduler. Do remember that hibernate mode consumes
a little power!!

It is poossible if u hav electricity supply

Go to bios>Power mgmt(or similar stuff)>APM(auto power on or mgmt)

Enable power on by rtc alarm/alarm

Select the day(s) u wanna boot ur pc automatically.

Done, make sure u dont switch off the electricity source

Am not sure but does APC UPS service have some stuff on auto power on in case its connected to the PC via a serial cable? I am just guessing, not sure as I said before.

but as i said before ......i use a ASUS BIOS ....which doesnt have a auto power on feature in it ....and auto power on and shutdown software is a trialware which i already used up......isnt there any other software like Auto power on and shut down??
