Morning and Happy thanks giving

My Rig
Processor: AMD FX8320
Motherboard: Asus M5 A99FX Pro R2.0 with Asus UEFI boot Bios
Ram: 32 Gig DDR3
Video Card: Radeon R9 200 Series (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, blue color)
Sound Card : Creative Blaster Z (PCIe x4 mode, black color)

Os: Win 8.1

Problem:

So what I am trying to do is to have my Computer bootup as soon as I switch on the power. I usually switch off the power to the tower when I go to sleep. I have Alexa (Amazon Echo ) to switch on the power but the computer wont booth up because I have to press the button on the tower to fire up the computer.

What I am trying to do is to have it all automated so when I call out to Alexa to switch on the power supply, it also kicks the bootup from shutdown status so that I can have the Rig running with one command. But, Alas, its not working as I want to.

I went into Asus UEFI Bios ---> Advanced --> APM ---> Switch on After Power loss and set it to enabled.. but it still wont boot up the machine. I have all other APM options disabled.

Any suggestion as to how to do this? I have read through the manual and tried a few different things and nothing works. the option of switching on by RTC is not going to work for me because i dont want a timed start, I want it to start at whenever there is power..

Any suggestions?
