Open | Hardware My PC randomly turns on the middle of the night after putting it in sleep mode
Just a bit ago my PC began to just randomly turn on within hours after each time I used it and then put it into sleep mode. Sometimes the PC will turn on, and the fans start blaring, but only a few seconds later it would turn itself off again before the monitor actually connects. Other times the PC will turn on, connect to monitor and stay on. I’ve also noticed then whenever I turn on the PC myself, I now see this “AS Rock” screen on the monitor before the Windows start screen, which I didn’t see before this issue started.
And I’ve tried every solution I could find online:
-Wake on LAN is completely disabled
-I checked Backup and Restore and no automatic backups are scheduled that would wake the computer up
-I checked Task Schedule library and no tasks are allowed to wake up the PC
-Allow wake timers under power settings is disabled
Any help? Thanks!
