    PC powering by itself issue


    I've got a little problem with my PC powering itself on after I've shut it down ie. shut it down before I go to bed, wake up next morning and it's on waiting for me to put my password in for logon. I've checked a number of options in Windows such as scheduled tasks etc. but nothing is scheduled to run so I don't know what's actually causing this(my computer is haunted j/k). It's not a serious issue but I just want it fixed so it doesn't impact the electricity bill.

    Hiyya Andartheil mate check your Power Options settings in the Control Panel I think (I could be wrong) that you may have hibernation set up or something similar:)

    Hi Andarthiel,

    I think your problem lies in the Bios settings (Power Management).
    Press F2 or whichever key gets you into the bios and disable one by one some of the enabled sleep/wake modes.

    Cheers Dave

    Disabled everything in there and it's still happening. As for Power Management, I set it to Balanced and I triple checked all the settings for it. And there's nothing in there that's responsible for this problem(all disabled).

I used to turn on my computer and walk away. Two to three minutes later it was up. Then one day last week, it decided to stop the start up and make me click on my name. How do I put it back to just turning it on?
