Can my I make my PC start automatically/use it as an alarm clock?

I would like my PC to start automatically at a certain time to use it as an
alarm clock. Someone said that it is possible but I don't know how. Can
anyone help please?
Thanks

There is often an option to do this in the BIOS.

Thank you but I'm not very techy so I don't know what that means!

When you start your computer, one of the first messages you get should tell
you to press Del, F2, F12, or some other key, to enter SETUP.

This will take you into your BIOS settings. Be careful to not change any
settings that you do not understand!

There is very likely to be an area, possibly around Boot Options, that will
give you an option to wake the computer up at a certain time.

After doing that you will have to Exit while remembering to Save your
changes.

You can also schedule tasks to wake the computer and play a piece of music
or whatever.

G - It's quite simple, if you haven't figured it out yet.
Start your computer, press F2 or whatever it is on yor machine to enter Setup.
Scroll down to Power Management.
On your right you see Auto Power On. Go from there.

You use keys for this per instructions lower left. Wayne

Are you serious? How can Task Scheduler wake up the computer? It will only
be able to do this from Standby, or Sleep mode.

G - I decided to try it out so as not to steer you wrong. Works perfectly!
Setting the time is easy. Don't know how this will wake you up, though. Are
you a really light sleeper?

Well done with your accomplishment, but you keep on replying to the wrong
person. Highlight the post of the person you are replying to before
pressing Reply.

Synapse - Sorry about that but I am accessing these threads the wrong way, I
know. Is there a simple tutorial on using Windows Mail newsgroups? Wayne
