Should be in Advanced, APM (Advanced power management), Power on by RTC or by Alarm.

Before I had constant restarting issues (See my other post) but apparantly it was caused by the gpu being too long for the case and wasn't fully in the pci-e slot, so I swapped in a much smaller card (Sapphire HD7770 Ghz) and it solved the random restarting issue, but caused the pc to randomly boot up when the pc is switched off but with power cord plugged in. Sometimes it starts up in midnight, sometimes in the afternoon. Any solutions?

 

Cpu: i5 4690K

Mobo: MSI Z97 MPOWER

Psu: Corsair RM850i

Os: Windows 10 Pro 64Bit

Check your scheduled on and off in the bios. otherwise, it must be static.

It just started up in front of me again and i really don't have a clue what is happening. Also what you meant by static?

Static electricity, even if your hand is static charged it might turn your pc on.

Okay, so I would just need to switch that function off?

Yes, pretty much.

is it an old case? the power on button might be faulty. unplug the front panel on switch leads on the mobo and see if it still happens.

Oh no i've only had this case for less then one year. Btw my case is a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2.
