Guys,

I’ve had my upgraded computer up and running now for a couple of days and everything is mostly good, but one thing that really stands out is that it likes to switch itself on when if feels like it :(

Since Friday it’s done it three times I think? It had turned itself on for me today when I got home…

Any ideas? I was thinking it might be a motherboard setting, but most of the settings are still default – I have a Gigabyte P35-DS3R and an Enermax Liberty PSU btw.

Cheers,

SW.
 
Okay, thanks for the replies ;)

I had a good look in the bios and in my mobo manual and the does have a wake on LAN feature, but it was already disabled?

Under Power Management though there were a couple of possibilities that were enabled, that I’ve now disabled.

PME Event Wake UP and Power on By Ring.

I’m going to give that a go overnight…

If it still happens when you plug out the PC then it is obviously haunted. Call up John Cusack and ask him to spend a night in your bedroom and then video tape him going insane, through in Samuel L. Jackson for 5 minutes in order to get his name on the credits and then fob it off as a decent movie.
Saw it last night actually - thought it was great :D

I turn off the things I said I would try and it seems (touch wood) to have worked? It was left off all night and day and when I got home tonight it was still off ;)
