    When I hibernate or sleep my laptop, it turns on automatically! helpme


    Hi,
    my computer turns on automatically after a while
    I have no scheduled tasks,
    my network card has this option in its properties -> "wake-up capabilities", I set it to "none" , no luck
    I even disabled network card; removed the network cable and still no luck
    I have done and checked everything I could think of, tried to read the event viewer to see what causes the computer to wake up and found nothing (or I couldn't figure out the cause)
    EVEN I turned off all the clocks in home, but still my laptop wakes-up after 10-20 min. I think it's gotten insomnia!!

    any suggestions? help? (apart from putting sleep pills into the CD-ROM!!)

    Has this just happened after working OK ?

    If yes, you may want to check if you have picked up any nasties i.e malware, virus.

    If no, check your settings in BIOS.

    Open a command prompt and enter this to see which device last woke up the PC :

    powercfg -lastwake

    Or to see which devices can wake the PC enter this :

    powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
