Hi,

You should check your BIOS's settings to see if your wake up on ring setting
is enabled.
To go into your BIOS you'll have to push either DEL, F1, F10 or some other
key to access your bios while your computer is booting up.
Refer to your motherboard manual to see which key it is to get into your
BIOS. And then look through the settings and see where the wake up on ring
setting is. Also if you're not an experienced computer user you may want to
heed off on editing the settings in the BIOS as it might make your computer
unusable so just please be aware of this before continuing.
