The title pretty much explains it. I'm making a JARVIS program with a CleverBot API I found. It would be amazing if I didn't have to go through the annoyance of right clicking the computer every time I log in. Is there a way to make a computer turn on whenever the chunk is loaded or I log into the world?

Computers are supposed to automatically boot when they are loaded if they were on when they were unloaded. Having to click on them to load them means you're using a version of ComputerCraft in which one or more bugs which prevent them from starting are present.

… That is to say, pretty much any version of ComputerCraft. Failure to boot on chunk load doesn't appear to be directly related to mod version at all. That said, I'd be interested in knowing which version
you're using.
Assuming you're already familiar with
startup scripts and
specifically mean your computers aren't turning on
at all, you can try remotely wrapping them as peripherals and calling their turnOn function -
here's a pre-made script for the purpose.
I also
hear tell that an
Autonomous Activator can turn systems on.
