Sparda Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 is there a program or way in bios that i can set to turns on at times i choose? 8-) Some BIOS support this. More offten then not you need a physical device connected to the power switch on the motherboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 most bios' allow you to set up a time for the machine to boot up. Can possibly use Wake on Lan if you have another machine that is up 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Is it possible to tell it to sleep and then wake using Task manager or AT command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Creates a sleep and then wake up schedule besed on your configuration. http://www.passmark.com/products/sleeper.htm There is also this article on doing it as well but you need to program it: http://www.enterprisenetworksandservers.co...ly/art.php?1049 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargor Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've been trying to get my machine to turn on at 7:20am which should be easy since theres the option in the bios, but.. it doesn't fucken work, I've tested it successfully by setting to turn on at current-time + 5 min, turning it off and waiting for that 5 min to pass, but when i set it to turn on at 7:20am, turn it off at 11pm it doesn't turn on in the morning. My bios clock isnt loosing time or anything, so the bios battery isnt running flat. Anyone got any ideas? I have a ga-m51gm-s2g which uses a nforce430 and the award modular bios v6.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put your pc in hibernation or sleep and hit enter on the keyboard or move the mosue. If they pc does not wake, then I don't think your pc can do it. (I could be wrong though.)

Dargor Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Na, i dont want to resume it from some sleep-type-thing, i want it actually powered off, (with maybe a little power for the clock/alarm). hmm just reading the motherboard manual and it says something interesting, maybe there just trying to trick me. POWER-ON by alarm you can set "resume by alarm" item to enabled and key in date/time to power on system. The use of the word resume would indicate that its just wake up from shitty sleep, but thats the only time that word is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 When a computer is off but still plugged in it's never truely off, it's always consuming a little power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
