how to set bios for auto cold start

[Zabier]

Here are the specs on my current machine.

Case - Cooler Master RC-690
PS - Rosewill|RG530-2 530W R
MB - Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
CPU - Intel E7400 2.8Gig 775 RT
Mem - G-Skill 2Gx2|GSK F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ R
HD - 2 500G|WD WD5001AALS Sata3Gig
Vid - EVGA 512-P31150-TR GTS250 R
Optical - Samsung SH-S223Q LS
OS - Vista Home Premium

Is there setting in my BIOS that will allow me to have the computer automatically start up in the morning at a certain time?

I've searched here for an answer with no luck. Find lots of threads with start up problems, etc., but none that directly address my question. I've also searched the board manual but either didn't find an answer or didn't recognize it. Lots of info on auto start from key board, mouse, etc., but no cigar on my question. Know someone here will have one. Thanks.

look in the bios for an option like wake on rtc alarm

In the Gigabyte UEFI - DualBIOS, there is an option under Power Management for "Resume by Alarm" where you must specify day/hour/minute/second in the fields below.

Struggling to find a full manual for your motherboard, the one on Gigabyte's site is something like 4 pages in English, for installing the motherboard.

mcnumpth23, Got it!!! I was pretty sure it was a possible function and that I just wasn't recognizing it. Thanks so much.

no problem and if you want similar for shutdown/sleep/hibernate theres a great free software called amp winoff to do those
