Solved Weird error message??

[Its No Use]

My computer is apparently an issomniac. Whenever I put it to sleep, it either automatically wakes up as soon as it turns off or it shuts down unexpectedly, resulting in loss of memory and most likely damage to the system.

Trying to fix this, I Googled the problem and they say I need to go to Device manager.

When I did that, I got a message saying "Windows cannot access specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropiate rights". I am actually the administrator and the only user on the computer I'm using, but the computer thinks otherwise.

Not only that, but it is dosent allow me to perform tasks in the Control Panel that require admin rights, despite being the only account. There is no error or message that shows up, but it just dosent show up when I click on the button.

This problem never really happened before but since I put my computer to sleep tonight, assuming I fixed this issomnia problem, I didn't, and now my computer's acting really strange.

Look for "Allow wake timers" in the power plan and set it/them to disabled.

Also, search the bios for any settings that may allow it to wake the pc and disable them.

No, I`m not kidding, if it just started then it must be something you changed.

If it`s keeping you up then you should....

1) Have your pc connected to power with a good surge protector

2) Turn off that surge protector when you`re through with the pc

Bios? How do I find my Bios?

And I didn't change anything! All I did was put my computer to sleep, and it turned back on by itself! It was happening ever since mid June.

Do you have windows updates set to automatic ? That is usually set for 3am & that would probably wake up the computer.

I can't change Windows Update. It says I need to be Administrator WHEN IM ALREADY AM!

Windows is so retarded sometimes.

We are just joking with you about Alienware

How long have you had the computer ? Have you used sleep mode in the past without problems.

look at the bottom on my sig download that program have it make a report speccy then you will know the rest of your specs. as for the wake timers it sounds like you have a bigger issue if you can not open your device manger but under power options you can try looking for them in advanced plan options. When did it start happening, have you installed any backup software recently?

I had the computer since December 25th, 2012. I never necessarily had any problems with the computer waking up before, but when I visit my dad's house, usually for the summer or for special holidays like Christmas, my computer just gets frequent episodes of turning on automatically after being put to sleep numerous times. I do have a lot of network adapters in my room connected on the walls, and I have one connected to my computer, just to maintain the 5 bars I have.

He states this, so I don`t think it`s an update issue.

"Whenever I put it to sleep, it either automatically wakes up as soon as it turns off or it shuts down unexpectedly"

But seriously, until you figure it out, unplug it at night

At first boot, the screen will show you which key to push to get into the bios.

It will say push F2 or Esc or Del to enter setup.

If you don`t know what you`re doing, leave the bios alone.

I'd rather not do that because I'm really afraid to go into those setups since I'm not really an advanced user.

Here is another way to help us see your system spec

Can you give us any screen snips for problem areas.


Edit: We will try to teach you how to be and advanced user, just work with us one step at a time

My speculations have nothing to do with my administration issues or... that other problem.
