Screensaver/ Startup Software

by BigSkinny0990 Jul 27, 2006 12:57PM PDT

I was wondering if there exists a program that uses a timer or a clock to turn your pc ON, or to come out of hibernation or standby at designated times. The purpose being if I wanted my computer off at night and then on by the time i wake up in the morning.

Also, I was wondering if there is a program which has a notification as to when the screensaver will start in the form of a balloon, pop-up or timer.

Thank you

Yes. Such is in your BIOS.

To turn the PC on, the BIOS of said PC will have to have said feature.
