    Still learning how to code

    Most BIOS allow the automatic power-on time to be set to a particular day and time. However, this is very inflexible as it requires manual intervention to make changes. Some PVR programs have the facility to power on the system at variable times, so I feel that there MUST be a way for a program to access these registers dynamically. Does anyone have any details, or alternatively, point me in the right direction for more information. Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

      I have killed my computer permanetly messing with BIOS. My suggestion is to leave it be and turn your computer on manually.
