Re: PC Boots up by itself

Sorry, but what do you mean by "power off mode/ switch" are you referring to
something in BIOS - as I have had nothing changed in it for a few years. -
this is a DELL GX260.

As it happens today it only switched on once at 7am. I have had a boot
message saying the battery power is low (this is a desktop) - perhaps the
little battery needs replacing?

I know this may sound like I have a Wake up On Lan problem but I have

had the wake up feature of the NIC switched off and I don't have any
automatic switch on enabled in the BIOS.

But for the last 2 weeks whenever I switch the PC running WIN XP Pro SP2
into Hibernate - it switches itself back on - seems to mainly happen at 7
am. I usualy wait around for about 5 minutes after it goes into hibernate
to check that all the lights have gone off.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

You should also check to see if the power off mode / switch is not set
to "hibernate."
