computer turns on itself-it is taking control of himself?

I got an ASUS with Windows 7 in late July - I have had intermittent problems: Microsoft Office Starter is not working, problems with the wireless connection (this now works - thanks for your support) and now this. I turn off the laptop of the start icon. The display shows end the session and stop. Then all the green lights will turn off. I unplug from AC, usually with between 30% to 90% battery left, then I close the lid.
Then a few hours later or even the next day, I see a green light flashing, lift the lid and the laptop turns on, waiting for my password.

To solve the problems:
I looked online - consensus seems to be the Task Scheduler. But I thought I would ask through this Web site. There seems to be a lot of scheduled tasks - can I remove these stains or distributes them at the same time? There are certain tasks that require several things happen before the update - Gooogle even need apparently occasional updates.  Is this really the Task Scheduler or maybe a programming problem with power or stop commands?

I unplugged the Wi - Fi until I stop - which gave rise to problems even more that I can not even find networks within range when I turn on. I also stopped Windows 7 automatic updates - only manual update once I turn on the laptop and get the Wi - Fi connection going.

I changed the power settings, so that turning it off when I press the power button or when I close the lid.

I asked a computer consultant - who said take it back to Best Buys - ask them without taking the laptop - and the first impression is maybe a virus - I use Kaspersky.
The only way, it does not switch on again, that's if I drain the battery - that happened when I'm for awhile; can I get the screen to shut down the system.
I hate to take the laptop and throw the Geek Squad on it - but if anyone has better answers. What a waste of battery. Thank you all for your support.

Please check the manual of your PC - you may have no problem at all.  A flashing green light may indicate that the system is in mode "sleep" [mine does this, for example].  The fact the computer lights up when you lift the lid hear too to be as if it was in standby mode *.  The fact that you can leave it until the next day also indicates he was asleep as no battery can keep the PC in another State for that length of time.

If the manual is not clear on this point, see the Asus support site & forums [if they have forums].

Please post back with the results of these controls.  In addition, * [above] the PC comes back a second or two because it also shows that he was in mode 'sleep' [or how long does it take?]

  • Why every morning my computer turns on itself?

    When I press the power button on my computer to go to sleep mode or either Hibernate, morning it starts itself every day.

    You can tell your computer to wake up by a delay in the BIOS options (accessible when you first turn on your computer and then press a special key to enter the Setup, usually F2, F10 or Delete - but varies according to the manufacturer of PC).

    Windows Task Scheduler can also be set to wake the computer to run a task.  If the computer is in sleep when the task is scheduled to run, the computer wakes up.

  • Why computer turns itself back after having paused?

    This computer (HP Pavilion Slimline model # s5107c, product # NP212AA-ABA, build software 93NAv6PrA3) works on VISTA Home Premium-64.  He had a virus that required the technician back up my files and clear everything and reinstall VISTA and my files.  Since then when I put the computer in standby mode, it lights automatically come back after a few minutes.

    I can find the settings for the computer to pause after so many minutes, but can not find any setting for the computer turning on itself.

    The power on and off is problem is hardware and you need a real computer store or
    support of the manufacturer of the system. You cannot fix the hardware with the software.

  • Why my internet accounts automatically get disconnected after that my computer turns off by itself?

    I have a Compaq PC with processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon X 2 5000, and it runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium... In my view, that is running Service Pack 2. I use the computer to check my e-mail, my YouTube and Facebook accounts (and possibly other accounts spread I connect to).

    I usually use Internet Explore to browse the web. Sometimes my computer turns off by itself due to overheating. But whenever when this happens, when I turn my computer back on and return to the use of the Internet, I've totally frustrated to find that all my accounts were automatically disconnected!

    Even when I check these boxes to keep me connected to these accounts when I turn on the computer again after a successful stop, my accounts still get disconnected!

    It only seems to happen when my computer turns off by itself without stopping... mainly due to overheating. When I turn on the computer again after a successful regular stop, my accounts are automatically saved on once again, due to activate me "Keep me connected" by checking these little boxes. But after a situation when the computer is off all the time (either by himself for a reason, either by me with strength to turn it off when my computer crashes), my accounts do not remain.

    How can I prevent my accounts automatically be disconnected so that whenever I start the computer, after it turns off by itself, my internet accounts turned on? There must be a patch for this embarrassing situation here on the internet.

    Perhaps because an improper shutdown / forced can inpact on different parameters.

  • computer hello__my laptop turn off itself

    I'm just why my laptop turn off itself, because today ' today I was connected to Skype, I was talking with my family, but all of a sudden it turned off I don't know what is happening... can you please tell me what's happening.. .thank you

    Another thing is this may be WHAT BIOS is configured to shut down the PC at the same time. Which battery is low or adapter will be disconnected, and then PC also turns off. Some malware can also turn off PC, in order to check this run full scan with your anti-virus and see if something might detect.

  • How and when the computer turns off automatically?

    Listen to internet radio, Sys Pref > saving energy on the default setting, wake up and radio program cut.

    This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

    OS X Yosemite: energy saver Preferences

    OS X Yosemite: set sleep and wake up on time for your Mac

    OS X Yosemite: A schedule for your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep

  • Satellite C855-1UU close problem, notebook turn on itself

    Hi all,

    I hope someone can help, I need to know what to do. I bought this laptop C855-1UU Satellite two days ago, and I'm afraid she has certain shortcomings.

    Everything works fine, except that I have problem when I power the laptop off. I use Linux OS (tried with Sabayon and now on Manjaro, I wanted to just check is this OS or hardware problem).

    It is:
    When power off the computer laptop (with icon or via the console command), phone off... then turns stays off for about 5-10 seconds and then switch on by itself without any reason!
    I tried to determine what could be the possible reason, and I found that occurs only when the battery charger is connected. Tried it with the battery removed, with loading the BIOS default values, nothing changes... always turn on itself.
    When unplug charger laptop battery and try to power off the computer, it works.

    Any suggestion, idea or advise what to do?

    Thanks in advance!

  • On the start with progress bar page, after that it becomes a little more than half, the computer turns off.

    MY MacBook Pro is frozen and I had to turn off get out of the frozen page and when I pressed the button to turn it on it makes the departure noise and then the progress bar lights. When it becomes a little to Midway, the screen goes black and the computer turns off.

    The progress bar that starts from the left end appears when your startup disk is too damaged to mount. The illustrious progress is the functioning of the equivalent of disk utility (ERD). He is never more than half before taking a decision.

    If your drive CAN be mounted, start-up continues normally.

    If your drive cannot be mounted, your Mac stops, because there is nothing productive that it can do.

    If your Mac is trying to start and crashes, which can produce always different results, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

    I recommend that you start in recovery and run utility disk (ERD) until it comes clean or is hopelessly.

  • My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

    My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

    This may be a problem with the power supply for laptop. Power drain the computer once and then check to see if the same problem still exists. In order to drain the computer, disconnect all external devices from the computer and also to take the charger and battery, then press on and press and hold power for 30 seconds and release.

    Also a BIOS update if available on HP.com for model laptop.

    You can also see the computer in BIOS. Power on the computer and immediately, press the F10 key to load the BIOS, and then leave the computer as it is in the screen of the BIOS for some time and check if the computer turns off again and if it still cell phone off on its own while it is in the BIOS then contact HP and arrange for the service on the computer
