Sounds like you need to change the default power loss/restore option to
start up the system. Then it should fall back under WOL and automatic
shutdown / restart alarms.
I wish I could find a list of motherboards that work well with WOL and
scheduled startup/shutdown. I have two 5+yr old MBs that work great, but
the new MB I just bought is a total loss.
