| Post subject: | Auto-booting?!!? |
Three times now the family PC has booted up to the start screen without anyone near it. I thought something might've been leaning on the powerswitch but nope. After the second time, I checked there was nothing on the keyboard. Still booted up a third time - I've now disconnected it from the router (wired). Never had problems like this before. The PSU was replaced by a fatality one a couple of years ago. The newest thing I did about a month or so ago was replace the Netgear wireless PCI card with a wired one. Don't think it has a boot/wake on lan option but will check the BIOS. Any explanations? |

Could you have a program with a time sequence? Something that does a task at specified times. |

Was it off or in standby? My optical mouse has a habit of waking up my media centre. |

No definitely off. I press and held the power button because it had hung on shutdown when my dad used it last. Nothing's happened since I've disconnected it from the router. |

Sounds like Wake-on-lan is enabled and the router is sending a wake-up packet. Do you have any port forwarding in the router settings? Or is there some service set to wake the PC? |

At work so can't recall but either tried portforwarding for the PS3 or put it in the DMZ. Computer had wake on lan enabled in bios and I've since disabled it so will see what happens. |

Wake-on LAN was my first thought too. |

I'd check the bios and see if it's set to auto power on after power loss, a slight blip in power could cause it to restart |
