hey peeps just wonderin is there a way i can have my pc off at night...its noisy. but time it to turn on by itself in the morning??? i wasnt sure where to post this.. thanks locky

Look in the BIOS. Most BIOS setups have the facility to turn the computer on at a particular time from Hibernate. However, be aware that these are usually one-shot timers. They have to be re-set after every event. Another option is to get an external mains timer that applies power to the computer at a particular time. You will probably have to go into the BIOS again and set the action on power on. Normally when power is applied nothing happens until the front panel button is pressed. The BIOS can be configured so the computer boot up when power is applied. Stuart

Yea, the BIOS usually has an auto-on timer. as for automatically shutting it down, use this: --Shutdown.bat-- @ECHO OFF SHUTDOWN /S /F /T 180 --Shutdown.bat-- Save that file on your computer and assign it as a scheduled task for whatever time you want your computer to turn off.
