I HATE when windows restarts in middle of night

JohnnyScience,

Trigger! Where did you get that from? I looked through the columns of BlueScreenView, and I didn't see any of them with that title.

I will assume that this is a task that you have scheduled in the Task Scheduler, or it is something that is schedule by a program that you have installed, but with what little info that you gave, I would have no idea of what. It may or may not help, but post the entire line of data for that event here.

I'm not trying to save energy, I'm trying to stop my computer from rebooting in the middle of the night when I have work going on.

Can anyone answer my enable/disable of the items in the task manager? how do I disable them?

No one can answer your question without more information than you have given, unless someone has personal experience with this trigger that you refer to. The only thing that you can do with the Task Manager is to kill a process, but that doesn't necessarily prevent it from restarting. You must go to the source, and to do that you have to know what it is.

All you have to do is highlight which one you want to modify then on the pane on the right you can choose disable or delete which ever,if your not sure what the culprit is just choose disable that way if it's not the right one you can easily re-enable it.

That would be sufficient reason for me to uncreate it. I really dislike anything designed to call home without my knowledge or authority.

Probably not a BSOD...

I have a system here that got a bug when I installed and later "uninstalled" a 3rd party power management application, this in turn caused BSOD's and mysterious reboots...

However, each time I come to the machine after it has rebooted from a BSOD, it tells me that Windows had a BSOD and rebooted to recover. So I strongly doubt your issue is from a BSOD.

if the pc is in sleep mode any slite vibration can activate the mouse which will wake up the pc. i think you can tell windows to only wake up from the keyboard.
