PC turns on by itself

[Andeh13]

Im running vista 64 and love the feature which puts the PC into hibernate mode instead of shutting it down, it looks shut down in all respects but by pressing a key on the keyoard it wakes up in a few seconds. The problem im having is after a few hours, randomly, it will just turn itself back on. Iv tried moving the mouse & keyboard well out of their range when i shut it down but the PC still wakes itself up every now, as a result im having 2 turn it off at the mains every time i turn it off.

Anyone experienced this?

Thats new. The only thing i can think of is your mouse is being moved, try leaving mouse out of you machine see if it still does it.

Havnt tried unplugging it yet, but i did move it out of its range(same with the keyboard) and it didnt seem 2 do much, PC still came on. Bit of a pain, i liked the idea of waking up and being able 2 turn my PC on without getting out of bed & putting a film/music on.

(yes, im a student )

Try to check in the BIOS if you have wake up on LAN enabled by accident.
(PS: when I was a kid I had this recurring nightmare of seeing my CPC6128 turning itself on, then being unable to turn it off. I'd pull the plug and it would come back to life.... NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :-D)

I've seen faulty PCI slots cause that before. If your motherboard has more than 1 PCI slot and a card in it, move the card to another slot.
