    Computer randomly enters a sleep like state whenever it wants and does not turn back on...


    My self built computer has been having a problem. At random times it will seem as though it has shutdown with the monitors and keyboard and mouse shutting off but looking at the computer it looks like it is running normally, the powerbutton does nothing like it would if the pc was hibernating or sleeping the only way to turn it back on is by turning the pc off manually with the switch. This could be a hardware issue with some faulty powersupply but I just want to know everything i could do before replacing anything.The problem was both in windows 10 and when i switched to windows 11.If you fee

    Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

    Hey guys, I have been trying to fix this on my own for over a week can't get it to stop. I think it's a software problem?

    My problem: Computer will randomly turn on when in sleep mode it usually happens around 1-6am, but has happened during the day time. My computer is in the bed room so I can here it turn on.

    Investigating: I have hurried and checked my computer right once it turned itself on and didn't see anything running in the background, no updates, no scanning etc...

    Settings Changes: I have turned off auto updates of many things or switched them to only happen on Saturdays 6-10PM(didn't fix it)
    I have gone through every single even scheduler(46) made sure none of them can wake computer from sleep mode.(didn't fix it)
    I have scanned for virus ETC. Kaspersky/ Malwarebytes Pro(didn't fix it)
    Checked MB bios and made sure all wake up settings are OFF(didn't fix it)

    Conclusion: This is why I need your help as you can see I have tried many things but still cant fix it. THE ONE thing I can't stop is the stupid Skydrive I have even tried creating registry file to stop it. The only other thing I can think of is a electrical problem in the wall sending it a slight jolt or something? It is plugged in to a surge protector a Monster Flatscreen HTS 400, it also cleans the power... It says its grounded and protection is on...

    Thanks for any help/suggestions! As you can tell I feel like I have tried everything I know... Also I just woke up and didn't get much sleep so if something didn't make sense that's why...

    Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

    I only saw this thread now, otherwise I would have suggested this sooner.
    I had that same problem you are having, my computer was waking-up from S3 and the culprit was my X7 mouse.
    powercfg -lastwake also listed the HID keyboard device which was an extension of the mouse.
    Besides going in device manager and setting everything to not being able to wake-up the computer from S3, I also did this to the power profiles:

    Computer Randomly Turns on From Sleep

    been dealing with this one myself actually, since i went 8.1

    in a CMD prompt you can use
    powercfg -lastwake

    to find out the cause. for me it was windows 'scheduled maintenance' which can be disabled in the windows "action center"

    default time is 2am.
