When I log off and the computer goes to sleep it starts up seemingly for no reason at all, automatically, by itself. I have it set to sleep in 10 minutes if undisturbed so it goes back to sleep but it will restart by its self again.
At first i thought it was receiving updates but it's not receiving anything . I think something online is waking it up. How can this be fixed?

Hi Tim,Do you happen to have a mouse or other peripheral connected? Is the mouse an old ball mouse, optical or laser? I say this because I have an old Intellimouse Optical which randomly lights up and detects movement despite being completely stationary on my desk. I used to experience the same problem - my PC would suddenly wake up out of sleep mode due to detecting mouse movement.Other peripherals may also cause the problem, you could try removing any connected peripherals and seeing if the problem goes away. Let us know, and good luck.Tim
