Random Standby Issue

[Hesky82]

When I’m done watching tv or a film or whatever, on the night I pop my HTPC into standby, but for some reason the next day at exactly 9:20am it pulls itself out of standby all by itself. It’s set to go into S3 state (suspend to RAM).
I just can’t for the life of me figure out why it does this

Spec:
DFI Ultra D nf4
BlackGold TV card
MCE 2005 with MCE remote

Anyone know?

Cheers

I can't say I've used MCE before but it sounds very much like it's scheduled to do something at that time.
Best guess would be waking to record a programme or check for updates.

I guess it could also be something on your LAN sending a WakeOnLAN packet.

Some BIOS' can be scheduled to wake the machine at certain times too, might be worth a check.

hope this helps,

Hi there, have a feeling its your 1st thought

Its not on the network yet and I know the DFI genie BIOS like the back of my hand!

if the os can still control the pc in s3 state I recon its software related.
