since my stupid mother board don't support this function i thought there is a way to make windows auto-starts the computer when it's off?? any way to do that?
Windows cant do anything when the computer is turned off, i dont think what your asking is possible, allthough there is something called wake on lan that you can start a computer from another computer, but i do not know how to do this, and i think this is the only way.
Yes there is a way.....instead of shutting down jst put it on standby..... or The place where u use to short pins on the mobo to start computer...bring two wires from it and hook it with a switch,,!
I just set my power button to put the computer into hibernation. No fans, no nothing! I'd say the 1+ gig harddirve reserve is a bit harsh, but if you can spare it, by all means. I dont know for sure, but a keystroke might wake it up from hibernation. Maybe its just standby. Its been a while. I guess what your looking for could be a wake on lan [WoL] approach. Heres the Wiki, on the WoL function, with supplemental links for programs, 3rd party apps, ect. I had to use my Xbox a few times to wake my computer up to resume large torrents as my mother would turn my PC off because shes worries it eats up vast amounts of power. Its a great feature, and supported by many operating systems Wake-on-LAN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and a wake on lan over the internet tutorial... n01getsout.com / tutorials / wake on lan tutorial Hope any of this helps.
Cheers dude :good: cant wait to get an FTP server running them use this and turn my computer on from college
