In BIOS you should have option "wake by alarm" or similar you just enter time when you want to turn on computer

Assuming Windows XP...\nGo to the start button and click on Run\nType in: msconfig\nClick on the Start Up tab\nYou will see a list of programs that are loaded when your computer starts up\nUncheck boxed (and reboot) until you find the one that controls the pchnotify.  You can recheck any of the boxes to turn things back on.  You will probably find several things you can turn off that you don't really need to load all the time.

go to control panel / energy options and check if there is a time defined for "Standby Modus". If yes, set it to none or never.

Are you running Windows?\n\nIn Windows, you can use the schedule service to run a program at a specified time. (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks)\n\nYou can use the app shutdown.exe that comes with Windows XP to do the shutdown.

You can go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and then go to startup and uncheck the stuff that you don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. Be careful what you uncheck.

To automatically start up your PC, you have to dig into the BIOS (press the [delete] or [F2] or whatever key it tells you at boot time), usually under the "power saving" tab; there should be a line named "Automaticaly start on RTC alarm" > enabled/disabled. Select enabled, then some more options will appear, for daily/fixed date & also hour. If you want it to actualy do something after starting up, drag a link in your START menu Start up line. (an MP3 list, for ex.)\nTo have it shutdown by itself, you can either pick up a utility from the link provided in an answer above, or run a program that has a built-in capability of shut-down-win. (tv tuner program, CD/DVD burning, download manager...)
