Question that still looms in my mind is WHY did this suddenly start happening? I haven't been monkeying in the BIOS lately, nor have I done anything I know of to have caused this, but obviously SOMETHING did. For the first time my computer did not suddenly start itself at midnight last night. Thanksĭai got it, thank you! Disabled Power on by PCI Card. If I need to go to a different category, please of course tell me the category and what sub-category I should be looking for and what to change it to. If not, please tell me to change a setting or settings. Please look these settings over and see if they should be as you think they should be. Power Management Setup(similar to your 'Power Options')Ĭategories under 'Power Management Setup', which I think apply to my problem: First off, here are the main categories in my particular BIOS, in case you want me to go to a particular category to adjust a setting:ĥ. I don't have a 'Wake on LAN' or a 'Wake on Ring' but I believe I have 'similar' categories.
The wording in my particular BIOS is a bit different than what you are listing, so I am going to list what I have in my BIOS and the settings and then you can advise me as to what to do, change, etc. Re: Why Is My Computer Turning On By Itself? Other things or areas I might look at? Any ideas as to what may be causing it to go on, and stay on? Thanks.(I have Vista Ultimate) Obviously, SOMETHING on my computer is causing it to turn on at midnight every night and run for hours and I need some ideas on trying to figure out what it is so I can STOP it. If it was some kind of an update, you would think the computer would shut itself off after it had 'done its scheduled work'. I don't know what else to look for in the Control Panel or on my computer to determine why my computer is turning on at this hour, and the baffling part.why it stays on for hours until I shut it off. Plus that is greyed out and I couldn't change it even if I wanted to. I have that scheduled to come on every day at THREE A.M., not midnight. I've checked my antivirus settings and other applications to see if I have any set to turn on at midnight, for updates or whatever.I cannot find anything. I do not see anything that is scheduled to turn on at midnight. I have looked at several things in the Control Panel to try and figure out why my computer is doing this. I do not understand why my computer is turning on at that hour, and running for hours, until I shut it off. One time I checked it 4am, that would be on for 4 hours and it was STILL on! When I turn on the monitor, I am just at the log in screen. At the stroke of midnight, every night, my computer automatically turns on.
