Solved How to set BIOS to start every morning?

[ToddeSwe]

fast boot off and retest.

Will try that. Thanks

Boot twice after fb off. RTC cannot handle fb shutdown. This will work.

no need to wait to morning for for test. set RTC timer 5 min ahead. one other option involved. all wake timers = yes (by default). my test results.

fb on = 100% fail
fb off = 100% work.

Glad to hear.

I use to test in that way. Thanks!

Your optimism about potential fix is not evident. I guess because previous recommendation suggested carriage return and you got false positive via short test. Short test is a valid test. Same result long term. My last response. Good luck.

Hi!

First of all, it did not work here.
And your reply is kinda hard for me to understand because as you might have figured out by now English is not my native language. I tried using Google translate but nah ... can you please explaine what you are trying to say to me once more in other words...

Hope you're not calling me gullible

I see from the Asus forum that you have installed the latest BIOS firmware, which I take is 1903 and which claims to have fixed the RTC problem, but which doesn't work for you.

Looking at the BIOS section in the manual, what does the setting APM Master Mode (found under Advanced/CPU Configuration) show? If it is anything other than Enabled, then set it as such. Now see if it works by setting the RTC clock settings a couple of minutes ahead of the current time. Note that when testing, you do not need to allow the machine to fully boot. If it turns on, then it is a successful test.

What is the range of numbers that you can enter in the drop-down box I mentioned in my earlier post? The only thing I can think of is to have a play around with these (although personally I think that the range would be 1-31 representing the actual date, with 0 being every day).

Having said that, there is quite a lot of posts on the Asus forums pertaining to RTC problems across a range of motherboards going back a number of years. I think that it is a longstanding problem that they are trying to address, but so far without any luck.

Hi and thanks

I found a solution when i googled my problem, another mobo but the same problem.
He told the guy with the problem to uncheck the fastboot in Windows 8 settings.
And i've made 2 successfully timed startups now.

Hope it starts tomorrow at 9 AM.

Fingers crossed for you. Please report back either way.

I can definitely say that it works.

By disabled the fastboot in Windows it now starts with power on by RTC. Finally! I

Fastboot seems to cause a lot of issues related to BIOS access etc. I have an SSD so that's one of the first things I turn off anyway. Glad you got it working.

To be honest i did not even know it was an option INSIDE windows. And since i got my SSD i don't think it will make that much of a difference. I did not notice any...

I disable hibernation from the command prompt so that there is no hiberfil.sys file on my SSD. Fastboot is a hybrid shutdown that is a partial hibernation state. If that makes any sense? Anyway, when I kill hibernation I also kill fastboot, hibernation and sleep mode. IMHO if you have an SSD you don't need fastboot anyway. One side effect of turning it on is often times F8 will not work during boot up and you can't get to safe mode etc. It also makes it hard to access UEFI BIOS during boot up. A lot of people had to disable fastboot to get to those menus. That's great if you can actually boot into windows to turn it off, if you can't your in a pickle. Now if you have a laptop with a 5400 RPM spinner hard drive, it likely does what it says, speeds up your boot up process. It has pluses and it has minuses.

It seems that I should be glad to have had just just this small problem then.
