>> Hello,
>>
>> I'm trying to find out why my computer keeps waking up from sleep.
>> Unfortunately I've not been able to track this down. I leave the house
>> around 9am, don't get back home till 8pm, and the computer has turned on
>> while I've been at work. My fiancee can't ever remember to check right
>> when she gets home to see if it's on then or not, so I have no other
>> time frame to deal with at the moment except for what happened today.
>> Specs are as follows...
>>
>> Windows Vista Ultimate x64
>> Q6600 CPU
>> 4gb (2x2gb) Corsair Memory
>> Asus Striker Extreme M/B
>> PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 PSU
>> WD 750gb HDD
>> Lite-On DVD Drive (qty 2)
>> Nvidia 8800GTX
>> Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum

>> I'm using built in network port linked into a Linksys WR320N Router &
>> Time Warner Cable Modem
>>
>>
>> Here's what I can remember I've done so far...
>>
>> BIOS - anything related to wake on ANYTHING has been disabled. USB,
>> LAN, Ring, Alarm (motherboard has an alarm clock feature)...it's all
>> disabled.
>>
>> Tasks - I'm not 100% on this...but I think everything that would
>> possibly wake it up, has been disabled.
>>
>> Windows Update - Never has been, and still isn't set to wake up & check
>> on it's own.
>>
>> Media Center - Has not been, and still isn't set to update on it's own.
>>
>> Device Manager - All network Wake On Lan's have been disabled.
>>
>> The computer will not wake up from being "Shut Down", but it will wake
>> up from sleep on it's own. I went so far as to unplug EVERYTHING
>> connected to it except the power cable, and it still woke up, so it's
>> not external.
>>
>> Today 8/8, I happened to be home and noticed around 8pm, it was on
>> again, thankfully I had just put it into sleep around 6 or 6:30. There
>> has to be something set somewhere that it waking it up. I've searched
>> and searched and found a lot of things to try, none of which has helped
>> except one...
>>
>> I found a post stating to capture a log file on Power Events...so here
>> is what I captured today...please help me...I'm at a loss as to what it
>> would be.
