Windows system four Windows magic boot method

What method do you use to boot the computer? If someone asks you to answer nothing more than: "Directly press the power switch button on the computer case and you won't have it." This is of course the easiest way. However, there are still many ways to open the computer. Here are four computer boot methods.

Method 1: Set the timed boot

The Real Time Clock (RTC) on the motherboard is responsible for the timing of the system. We can specify the boot time through the RTC, just like an alarm clock. However, since this function is rarely used, some motherboards that provide this function (such as INTEL original motherboard) can't be turned on at the specified time, so it is best to test the user before using it.

The specific operation mode is:

1. After the computer is turned on, press the “Del” button to enter the BIOS setting screen according to the prompt message on the screen. The setting function related to the timed boot is generally placed in “ Under the Power Management Setup option.

2. There is an option for "RTC Alarm Poweron" in the BIOS, which should be set to "Enabled". After that, the user can set the date, hour, minute and second of the scheduled power on.

3, in order to ensure that the computer automatically and correctly realize the function of timed automatic boot, the user must first check whether the system time in the BIOS of the motherboard is the same as the real time.

4, the last step to remember to save the settings in the BIOS BIOS settings, you can boot at a preset time. Some motherboards can also be set to automatically boot from the BIOS at the same time every day by changing the "RTC Alarm Date" item to "Every Day".

But I would like to remind you that if you use the BIOS to boot automatically, you can only use one account in the Windows operating system of the user. Otherwise, it is impossible to automatically boot and then automatically log in to Windows.

If someone asks you, how do you turn on your computer? The answer is nothing more than: "Directly press the power switch button on the computer case and you won't have it." This is of course the easiest way. However, there are still many ways to open the computer. Here I will introduce you to four magical computer boot methods.

Method 2: Booting with a keyboard/mouse

If the computer case is placed in a hard-to-reach place, booting with a keyboard/mouse is a good solution. However, it should be noted that this function only supports keyboards and mice connected by PS/2 interface. It is not possible to connect using USB interface. Enable the "Power On By PS/2 Keyboard" option in the motherboard BIOS to select different boot hotkeys, such as Ctrl+E is the most common boot hotkey.

Or select the "Power Key" item, you can use a separate power button on the keyboard to boot, but only if some keyboards that meet the Keyboard 98 specifications support this function. Of course, the power button on the chassis can still be used. As for booting with the mouse, it is very simple. The setting options in the BIOS are similar to the keyboard boot settings, and then the computer can be started with a single mouse click.

Method 3: Wake up with Wake on LAN

To use Wake On LAN (WOL) Wake-on-LAN function, network card support is required, and WOL-capable network card has a special signal cable to connect to the motherboard. The WOL interface on the top is responsible for transmitting the boot signal to the motherboard. However, there are currently not many motherboards with WOL interfaces, and manufacturers have changed to provide WOL functions on the network chips built into the motherboard.

The principle of WOL is that when the computer is turned on or in the S5 sleep mode (Suspend to Disk), the network card still maintains the basic operation at a very low voltage. At this time, other computers on the network can pass. The software sends a magic packet called "Magic Packet" to the computer to wake up. After receiving the signal, the network card will send a power-on signal to the motherboard to enable the motherboard to boot. Since the computer is still powered on before waking up, we need to know the MAC address of the NIC (each NIC has its own unique MAC address, the software uses this to identify).

The specific use of the Wake-on-LAN function is as follows: First, open the WOL option in the BIOS of the motherboard. Note that some motherboards only support wake-up from S5 mode (Wake On LAN from S5).

Second, download the WOL software from the Internet. This network wake-up software, called "Magic packet", is easy to set up and use. After running, there are only 5 options in its operator interface.

Among them: the "(MAC Address)" column of the network card, the user can enter the "ipconfig/all" command in the command line mode of the Windows operating system to obtain. In addition, the "Internet Address" column is the column to be broadcast. In this column and "Subnet Mask" column, enter "255, 255, 255, 255" to perform local broadcast (Local Broadcast). The fourth column is “Send Options” and “Local Subnet” should be selected. The fifth column "Remote Port Number" is free to enter. Note that the above settings are only for the local network (Local LAN). If you want to wake up via the Internet, you will have more questions and will not be discussed here. Finally, click the “Wake Me UP” button at the bottom of the interface to wake up the computer from the network.

Method 4: Turn on the TV card

The TV card with automatic power-on function has been put on the market. After connecting it, use the software provided by the TV card to set the boot time.

The automatic boot mode of the TV card can be roughly divided into three ways: The first one is a product that has the automatic power-on function. The power cable of the chassis must be connected to the TV card and then transferred out; It is a TV card that is powered on by the sleep mode. Among them, the second method is still consumed because the computer is not actually shut down, so not all users are willing to adopt it. The following mainly introduces the specific operation of the first automatic boot method.

1. First, the user should connect the lead pin of the computer switch button on the chassis to the “Power Switch” pin of the TV card during installation (the author takes the Kangbo X800 TV card as an example).

2, then connect another set of "Power Switch" pins of the TV card to the power pins on the motherboard, and finally install the TV card into the PCI expansion slot of the motherboard, so that the internal connection is completed. It is.

3, after installing the hardware, the supporting software of the TV card (such as Kangbo PVR2) also needs to be set. Mainly in the "reservation recording settings" function, users should check the "Enable automatic power-on function" item.

4. If the Windows operating system in your computer is more than one user, set it to "Enable automatic login" mode and enter the user name and password to complete the entire setup procedure.
