We only got 2 computers at spawn on a brand new fresh map and for some reason when chunk unloads or during startup the computers are off so we have to right click them to get the startup going. We are using the dw20 1.7.10 pack is there an item or a way to keep them turned on?

This is a bug; possibly caused by incorrectly shutting down the server.

Ya it's not only on server shutdown but the chunks unloading also…

ComputerCraft computers are not persistent when not in a loaded chunk or loading in general, they will shut off. It may be fixed later in another ComputerCraft update. But for now. It can't really work.

Okay let me explain this a big better. This is a known bug in the mod caused by a number of things which all permanently affect a world as far as I can tell. The only real solution is to make a new world. Obviously this isn't usually a solution on servers so instead you can fix this with a number of items from other mods. Any item which can simulate a right click is able to turn the computer back on once the chunk reloads. The autonomous activator and dynamism tablet are both very common in most modpacks. I would suggest the autonomous activator though since it causes the least client lag of the two.
