Errhhh... i am an pc dummy...
ke...ke.... -
err.i'm nt sure..i don't think can bah..i only know got auto off at your set timing..but don't know anything about auto on
-
There's always "Mummy! On my pc for me everyday at 3pm OK?!"
-
unless u switch it on remotely....
i dun tink any software is avaliable to switch it on at scheduled time bcoz ur cpu, ram, motherboard, hard disk will all b off. no software can b run while everything is off!
dats my theory...hwever if u really find a way let me noe...thx... -

As what you say it is true but if supposing the PC is only in deep sleep that is it is still consuming a very small amount of power but just deep sleeping. Then using software wise you can start it up I believe.
With the power switch turned off I doubt it can happen to wake up unless some aliens technology is imparted to Earthlings on how to auto on a PC that is already turned off at the power switch

With above lines it is still not a fully automatic gesture but more of a manual on rite? So to be fully automatic is what the poster is looking for? -

The easiest way is by software. It puts the pc on hibernate and it wakes up on time and sleep back again on sleeping time. -
I only know how to put a Mac into sleep and wake it up using Remote Desktop.
I have no idea how Windows can do it. I don't think it is possible using softwares -
You can ask a Mac to wake up or sleep via System Preferences > Energy Saver > Schedule. works neatly. if only got alarm clock function.Originally posted by chanff8:I only know how to put a Mac into sleep and wake it up using Remote Desktop.

I wonder if a combination of Wake-On-LAN and RDC can help.
For Windows, I think it probably lies somewhere within the CMOS settings.

i don't think there is any available software that can switch a computer which is in OFF mode to On mode...
if there is, i should have covered in in my computer lesson the last time when i am on training classes to be a computer technician...
alternative ways...like they have said..then its possible...but still...it isn't really like switch on the computer from a OFF mode...unless u use remote control...or hibernate...standby...which uses low power usage...Originally posted by subarugal:anybody knows how to auto on the pc with an scheduled timing ?

if you can send packets onto the remote network, you can do a wake-on-lan.
-
Never heard of such things.Originally posted by subarugal:anybody knows how to auto on the pc with an scheduled timing ?

However, there are softwares which will help you auto on the PC when it is in some other modes other then when it is totally off. -
can lah...remember last time they have the timer-plug???
that one set what time you wish the electricity from the "always switched on" plug to be actually "on" or "off"...with that, you only need the no-log-in option or some remote/ftp system to assess your PC loh...when the timer-plug starts. -
search for a program called winOFF
-
Simple:
> Install an internal PCI modem card
> connect a phone line into modem port
> set in BIOS to powe-on by modem
Done.
Next time, just leave the power switch on at the wall outlet but leave PC off. When you are outside, call back and the modem card will turn on your PC.
Most modern ATX motherboards has this Self-power On option in BIOS/CMOS. -

Essentially you are just shifting the power on feature from the PC to that modem connected to the PC rite? I wonder if the poster meant all switches and accessories connecting to the PC are off and how to turn it on scenario -
you want to log on to sgforum at an exact time?
-
if going with modem+phone line, just make sure you have surge protection.
if not, pray that lightning strike won't hit your line.
quite ex to go with hw sol. -
but that is for win off.. not on my dear..Originally posted by Forever84:search for a program called winOFF
haa... i wanna it to on..
i saw someone using it before. But too bad never get the chance to ask..
Now i am searching it.. According to friends its is able to do so... -

Get more detailed information from him/her. When he/she does that issit all switches are turned off that connect to the PC? Dun just focus on PC alone, check all wires connected to PC or accessories and their switches at the wall. Different ppl definition of auto turn on is different -

what i notice is likely the pc is on sleep mode.. -
she no longer with us...
You mean she died already? Then all you can do is try to dream at nite to get the answer from her in your dreams -
I think it's more like power-saving then activated by a program...
