Hi everyone,
really puzzling scenario here, my PC (spec shown in sig) keeps turning itself on randomly, despite the fact that I have that ability turned off in the 'Power Management' tab for my network and input device properties in windows.
My BIOS has no options for disabling/enabling WakeOnLAN at all, and I'm pretty sure its happening via the network, as it has never happened if I unplugged my ethernet cables. However, when I leave a WakeOnLan packet sniffer running on my PC it detects nothing, even though I have made sure it does detect WOL packets.
The only other PC online on my LAN is my media server, and it definitely doesn't have any services/software running that would be doing this.
Also I've done full virus scans on all PCs on my network, and everything's clean.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue? I suspect perhaps its my PSU being faulty (Corsair HX 1000W), but the ethernet unplugging thing suggests otherwise.
P.S. I'm running Vista x64 Ultimate
