Hey is there something i can do to set my pc to start up at 7:30 am?, i thought there was somthign for this in windows. i checked all arround in the controll pannel. i'm running windows xp pro
 
yea i just checked. nothing, i'm runin the A8V delux mobo, although i cant flash bios due to not having a floppy drive. Doh!
 
I don't think I've seen a mobo in the last few years that didn't have an RTC Alarm option in its BIOS.

is the RTC option in the advanced settings/apm config menu?
 
no i dont beleive i have that. i'm readin out of my manual and this is what my bios has

enter the APM configuration (as suggested in my last post) menu under the power menu page of your BIOS. Check there for RTC options.

Don't be afraid to acctually enter the bios and look for things - just don't change anything unless you understand it (RTC Alarm is safe enough). If you think you've changed something accidentally, just exit without saving by pressing escape and try again..

Sometimes they don't write everything up in the manuals.
