Windows 7 x64 Switches Itself Off!

[Bladeforce]

Hi, Now if anybody can help I'd appreciate it!

My system switches itself off by itself, not during the day but early morning and only once. My event log has the following for this morning...

The system is entering sleep.

Sleep Reason: Application API

May I say what I have looked at...

Firstly anything scheduled in my programs I am running or task scheduler
Bios for power options
Windows power options
Computer scanned for viruses
Checked power supply but I'm sure it's not this as it only happens once a day at a similar time.
The only thing I can think is it coincides with updating windows.

Can anyone help it's killing me!

This looks like a malware/ trojan or a PSU problem. Run a MBAM scan, if theres a spare PSU, check with that.

In any case, since it coincides with windows updates, turn off automatic windows updates first.

Turn off Windows automatic updating in Windows 7

If the problem goes away, we know it has something to do with the updates.

I would also disable everything that has to do with NetBIOS - I have never seen anything useful from this stuff and lots and lots of problems.

Thanks guys how do disable netbios? I had disabled windows updates when i re-installed and since (somehow) windows updates got enabled by itself, hence installing all the updates without me knowing then the problems. Already done an MBAM scan results were 0 problems

How about a little info on your hardware? Please fill in your system specs.

Intel Core 2
4GB RAM
Biostar G31-M7 TE Motherboard
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

I've tried disabling the Realtek Network adapter power savings feature to see if that helps

Open up Task Scheduler and look to see if any tasks set it to sleep mode.

As Bill2 mentioned check your PSU. Erratic power can cause a system to shut down with unusual error messages.

I appreciate your thoughts but why would an erratic PSU only shutdown once during the same hour of the day?
