i know it sounds weird, but i noticed just yesterday that my PC will auto switch on itself after i turn on the main power (Not the power on/off of the PC). and when it loads to windows, the time/date settings will be wrong. what is wrong?? could it be the BIOS setting? i doubt so cause i don't remember go there or mingling with it. Please HELP!!

Please do not bump your own thread. people will assume that you are getting help.
As for your problem, I believe the setting you want is in the bios. It has been a while since I have been in mine. It has to do with "restart after power failure"

And since your time/date are also off, I suspect you have a weak cmos battery on the board.
How old is the computer?

The battery looks like a watch battery. It is round and thin. It should be replaced. Once that is done, we can check the bios.
