There are time I need to remote into my desktop for a couple weeks at time. The problem is, there is some strange error going on where the computer (which I have set to never hibernate, ever) --- will shut itself down maybe one every 1-2 weeks. I've checked the system log and can't figure it out for now, maybe sometime in the future.

I was wondering if setting 'wake by alarm' in the BIOS would fix this issue (instead of trying to remote in, and failing, because it's off).

Could I set a 'wake' command at a certain time right before I get to work each day as a failsafe?

What happens if this BIOS wake alarm goes off and the computer is already on?

Nothing. Your computer will stay powered up and nothing will happen.

Have you thought about Wake-on-Lan instead of a BIOS alarm? That would give you complete access to your computer, regardless of when you had your alarm set for.
