Afternoon all

Is there anyway I can turn my PC on from the keyboard etc with out pressing the button on the front?

Only as as I have my pc using my TV as a monitor, and a wireless keyboard and mouse, and sometimes I can't be bothered to get u and press the button

Put it in standby mode instead of shutting down?

EDIT: or Sleep/Hibernate even

Put it to sleep, though some keyboards have an on button on them and some motherboards allow you to turn the PC on using the keyboard.

As said, look in the BIOS. I used to have mine set so that if you pressed any button on the keyboard it would turn the PC on.

Where do I find BIOS? I'm not too good when it comes to things like this. If all else fails I may invest in a long prodding stick on a system of pulleys

Glb is probably right tbh, the BIOS is rather important and not something you want to break

Your BIOS is set to the wrong Sleep mode, mine used to do this and I changed it from Sleep 1 to Sleep 2 or something and it fixed it
