Can you auto-matically turn on your pc?

I didn't know which forum to stick this in, but I was just wondering if it's possible to have your computer automatically turn on and off? One other question that I have is: I am having a problem, when I put my system on standby I am unable to come back to windows. I end up having to reboot the pc. Any Help?

As far as I am aware in certain bios' you can set a time for your PC to automatically boot. Turning off I dont know if you can do it without thirdparty software. someone else may have a more thorough answer and an answer to your other questions.

Depends on your bios. Mine's in something like "Boot options" or "Wake Events" You can set a time for it to turn on. Scheduling shutdown is done through the windows task scheduler.

*Edit* Mine's in the BIOS under "Power" =>"APM Configuration" => "enable wake on RTC event" Since we both have ASUS boards, yours may be similar.
