My PC turned on at around 3 am. I had it put to sleep mode. I checked event
viewer and found no info of value as usual. My power button couldn't have
been pushed by wind or w/e because I have no power button, I have 2 wires
that I have to connect to get my PC to turn on, and I put something heavy on
1 so they don't accidentally touch so they couldn't have touched. There was
no power surge or anything. This is the first time this has happened ever. So
anyone know why my PC turned on for no reason? Cause I'm kinda scared heh.

Hi Dety000,

This can help you troubleshoot your sleep mode problem and find a
solution. You might check to see if it is the network device waking the
computer up.
