Notebook going to sleep and waking up on it's own
Last night I put my Sony Notebook to sleep as I do almost every night. My notebook is housed in glossy metallic black and I’ve noticed some days it’s covered in sand like dust, depending on where I leave it so I often cover it with a cloth. Well I woke today to find that my notebook was on and the entire notebook was VERY hot. The vents are in the back and were covered by the cloth which I’m sure caused things to really heat up. What in the world could have caused it to wake up? Even though I have 70+ programs installed, I’ve never had this problem before. As far as I know, I don’t have anything set to run at a specific time. Perhaps Tune-Up Utilities 2010? The power did go out last night during a storm but it was plugged into a surge protector……..
And along the same lines, I’ve noticed that when I leave my notebook alone for about an hour, I’ll come back to find it asleep even though I have my power settings set to not go to sleep when plugged in. This started about a week ago and I can’t seem to figure out why this keeps happening.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
