This is My computer.

voltage:
115-V position even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

More Info

I would like to Keep the Power supply which came with computer and like to know how can i set up Auto On and Auto Off when i turn Off/On my computer. Is there anything i can do to do that. I am thinking of buying. I am thinking of buying something that would convert from dc to ac then connect my computer to that, but i would like to setup up on off. Any chance of installing relay for auto Off or On.

I really need help.

its not a device it was just simple relays. There are dozens of different ways to do it one of them being a simple relay arraignment that connects the two jumpers together that go to the power button. This being controlled by your ignition switch. in all honesty you would be far better using a proper smart power supply. It will save you a load of hassle and will work far better.

It is compaq Laptop and i have some screen for dell laptops, Do u think i could connect those spare screens in my car with Compaq Laptop. I Do understand Relay, Soon as i turn off the car i will kill the power.
