This has occurred about 4 times during the last month and around about the same time (9am). Does anyone have an idea as to why this would happen. The switch on the ATX case appears ok, and the case itself is only about 6 months old. Has anyone had this happen and if so what would be the solution.	Guest (0)

47226	2002-05-07 12:53:00	I wondered if this setting would be useful on my computer as I often have difficulty waking it from standby (it doesn't respond to the mouse or keyboard and therefore wont wake and has to be restarted) For those like me who almost never get into the system, how does one get at the bios and the real time clock?
