Hi, i'm trying to make my computer start by itself on at a precise time Using the BIOS(Asus P3V4X motherboard)... It only works after closing windows from SafeMode or after powering down while windows is booting...
I'd like to know how I could make it to auto power up after closing windows the normal way...
Thanx in advance... :o) Any help will be appreciated!

Summary: I installed the AD11 in the case with only a keyboard & monitor attached. I installed a Diamond video card to support my monitor. I was careful that the power switch plug from the case was connected t...
