Introduction to Windows Uncommon Boot method

If someone asks you, how does your computer turn on? The answer is simply: "Just press the power switch button on the computer chassis." This is, of course, the easiest way. However, in fact, there are many ways to open the computer, the following author to introduce four kinds of magic computer boot method.





method One: Set up a regular boot




The
motherboard has a real-time clock (REALTIMECLOCK,RTC) that is responsible for the timing of the system, and we can specify the power-on time via the RTC, just like the alarm clock. However, since this feature is rarely used, some of the motherboards that provide this feature (such as Intel's original motherboard) do not actually boot at the specified time, so the user is best tested before it is formally used.





specific mode of operation is:





1, after the computer boot according to the on-screen prompts information press "Del" key to enter the motherboard BIOS Settings screen, and regular boot-related settings generally placed under the "powermanagementsetup" option.





2, a "rtcalarmpoweron" option in the BIOS should be set to Enabled. After that, the user can set the date, hour, minute and second of timing.





3, in order to ensure the accuracy of the computer to achieve the automatic power-on function, the user must first check the motherboard BIOS in the system time is the same as the actual time.





4, the last step to remember that the motherboard BIOS in the settings to save the changes, you can at the preset time to boot. Some motherboards can also be set to automatically boot from the BIOS at the same time on a daily basis by changing "rtcalarmdate" to "everyday".





But to remind everyone that if the BIOS automatically boot, the user's Windows operating system can only use one account, otherwise it is not possible to automatically boot and then automatically log on to Windows.

However, in fact, there are many ways to open the computer, the following author to introduce four kinds of magic computer boot method.





Method Two: Use keyboard/mouse to boot





If the computer case is placed in a difficult position, using the keyboard/mouse to boot is a good solution. Note, however, that this feature only supports keyboards and mice that are connected with the PS/2 interface, but it is not possible to connect using a USB interface. Enabling the "poweronbyps/2keyboard" option in the motherboard BIOS allows you to select a different boot hotkey, such as Ctrl+e, which is the most common boot hotkey.





or select "Powerkey", you can use a single power button designed on the keyboard to boot, but only if only part of the KEYBOARD98 Technical specification of the keyboard support this feature. Of course, the power button on the chassis is still available. As for using the mouse to boot is also very simple, in the BIOS setup options and keyboard boot settings similar, and then only need to click the mouse button can start the computer.





Method III: Use the network wake-up boot





to use the WakeOnLAN (WOL) network wake-up function, the need for network card support, and have a WOL function of the network card has a special signal cable to connect the motherboard WOL interface, responsible for the transmission of the signal to the motherboard. However, there are currently few motherboards with WOL interfaces, and manufacturers are instead providing WOL functionality on the motherboard's built-in network chip.





Wol is the principle of the computer in the boot or S5 sleep mode (Suspendtodisk, hibernate to the hard disk), the network card is still very low voltage to maintain the basic operation, then other computers on the network can be transmitted through the software a so-called "Magicpacket" magic packet to wake the computer. After receiving the signal, the NIC will issue the power-on signal to the motherboard to enable the motherboard to start. Because the computer is still in the boot state before the wake-up, so we need to know the MAC address of the network card (each card has its own unique MAC address, the software to identify).




The specific use of the
network wake-up function is as follows: First, open the WOL option in the motherboard BIOS. Note that some motherboards only support wake-up (WakeOnLANfromS5) from S5 mode.





Second, download Wol software from the Internet. This is called "Magicpacket" network wake-up software, its setup and use method is very simple. After running, there are only 5 options in its operating interface.





Where: the "(MACAddress) (MAC address)" column of the network card allows the user to enter "Ipconfig/all" instructions in the command line mode of the Windows operating system. In addition, the "InternetAddress" (Internet address) column is to broadcast the column, in this column and "SubnetMask" column, enter "255, 255, 255, 255" can be broadcast locally (localbroadcast). The four column is "Sendoptions" and you should select "LocalSubnet". The "Remoteportnumber" in column five is entered randomly. Note that the above settings are for the local network (Locallan) only. More questions are involved if the Internet is to be awakened, not discussed here. Finally, click the "WakeMeUp" button at the bottom of the interface to wake up the computer from the network.





method Four: Use the TV card to boot





with automatic boot function of the TV card has been a large number of the market, the connection, the use of TV cards provided by the software set boot time can be.





TV card automatically boot mode can be divided into three kinds of ways: the first is really equipped with automatic boot function of the product, it is necessary to first the chassis power cord and TV card connection and then transfer, the other is the use of sleep mode to boot the TV card. The second method, because the computer is not really shut down, that is still consuming electricity, so not all users are willing to adopt. The following is mainly about the first automatic boot method of the specific operation.





1, first of all, users should be installed on the chassis computer switch button on the lead PIN and TV card "Powerswitch" connection (the author to Kang Bo X800 TV card as an example).





2, and then the TV card of another group of "Powerswitch" with the motherboard of the power connector connection, and finally put the TV card into the motherboard of the PCI expansion slot, so that the internal connection is completed.





3, after installing the hardware, the TV card supporting software (such as Kang Bo PVR2) also need to be set up. Mainly in the "Booking video settings" function, users should be checked "Enable automatic power-on function".





4, if your computer's Windows operating system more than one user to use, but also set to "Enable automatic Login" mode, and enter the user name and password, you can complete the setup step.
