Automating computer boot

[piggysmile]

How is a computer automated to start in a defined schedule? Wondering if there is any possibility to do this.

Depending on your BIOS...

I have worked with some computer BIOS settings that allow a turn on/off schedule for a PC. As mentioned previously you could also configure a Wakeup on LAN process with WOL supported NICs. Good luck!

unfortunately, my BIOS doesnt support it. gotta stick the manual way. ty

i'm sorry. i've just skimmed over the manual. my chipset and bios support WOL but this method isnt applicable in my case. i also have options like RTC alarm resume. so?

You can put your PC on a manual timer, or use networked power bars.
