PC turns itself on overnight
PS wrote:
Compaq running Vista home premium occasionally starts itself from sleep during the night. Anyone suggest how to stop this? Go into the BIOS and disable any Wake On LAN options. You will see a prompt at the lower left-hand corner of your screen when you first turn on the computer which will tell you what key to press to get into the BIOS. Example: "Press F11 to enter Setup".

PC turns itself on overnight
I had one case where an optical trackball was turning a P/C on without help.
Either there was some vibration occurring at night, a cat was playing with the trackball, or some other really odd cause existed. Anyway, turning off the "wake" options for the trackball was the solution. "PS" wrote in message news  Compaq running Vista home premium occasionally starts itself from sleep during the night.
