In #1 he's talking about shutdown and booting up
That's why I think it's not a sleep mode problem
Windows 7 boots up at 3am everyday from shutdown

- Boot up your computer and enter your BIOS setup. Usually this involves pressing the Delete key as your computer boots (your computer should say Press DEL to Enter Setup or something similar as you turn it on).
- Navigate to the Power Options. If your BIOS supports it, there should be a function for automatically starting up your computer at a certain time of day. Mine was called "Resume by Alarm", but yours might be called something different.
- Enable that setting and set the time you want your computer to start every day. Save and Exit the BIOS, and your computer should follow that schedule from now on.

This sounds very much like your Automatic Update settings which, coincidentally, are set by default to run at 3am. To check to see if this is the case, change the update time with the following Tutorial and test.

No question it is powered off, it is not in sleep mode. I can duplicate it by changing my system clock to just before 3am, then shutdown. When it powers up on it's own I see the option to go into bios, by pressing F2.
wake source event viewer, had no entries when changing the filtering. The event viewer is how I know when the computer boots, the first entry is

The computer is a Dell Inspiron laptop, so I assume it is a dell motherboard.
The BIOS is American Megatrends Aptio Setup Utility. The menu options are
Main - set the date and time
Advanced - options only to enable and disable, and the only WAKE oftion is USB Wake Support, which is disabled.
Security - passwords
Boot - boot priority
Exit -
There is nothing in there to wake the computer that I can find.
Thanks for all the responses.

What is the Inspiron Laptop model number (e.g. 1523, etc).
I looked at the Dell documentation for a couple of recent Inspiron laptops and none list the BIOS and options, like they do in desktop documentation.
With the correct model, I can contact one of my friends on the Dell forum and get the info on whether this has the wake option or not. Or if you want to go directly to the Dell Community users helping users forum, the Laptop section is here: http://en.community.dell.com/support...p/default.aspx
