Crazy computer - starts by itself at night after I stopped it

I have a HP Compaq dx6120 with windows xp professional. It is connected to a router wireless internet via Ethernet cable. Office of my neighbor is also connected to the same router by Ethernet cable.  In any case, my computer starts by itself at night after I completely stopped him. This only happens when the computer is connected to the internet.

In the device, under power management Manager, the box "Allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode" is disabled. Also, I went into the bios settings and seems not have the capabilities of WOL, or the value is none. I'd appreciate any help to get rid of this problem.

It's probably in your Bios. check that http://forums.cnet.com/5208-10149_102-0.html?threadID=43986

  • My computor starts by itself. How can I stop this from happening

    I usually start my computor in the morning and turn it off at about 21:30. During the night, it starts by itself. How can I stop this from happening

    Hello

    Check your BIOS settings, looks like you have a setting for it to wake up at a specific time.

    It usually takes to press one of the FUNCTION keys to enter the BIOS screen

    I think F2 or F4.

    If you do not know how to change the BIOS settings are asking in a computer store is they don't
    for you change it or show on another computer how to do this.

    You may know someone who knows a lot about computers so they can watch it for you?

  • Computer starts only in Mode safe after automatic updates.

    Over the weekend, that some automatic updates ran on my XP computer and now my computer won't start mode without failure.  I've done several restorations, and it still does not start correctly.  Any suggestions?  I use AVG Free antivirus.

    Don't know if that makes a difference, but I looked back and in 2003, we bought the computer...

    It makes a big difference ! At the #1 stage, you want to download a different removal tool using this link instead-online ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/consumer/Rnav2003.exe

    All the other steps remain the same.

    You may be able to connect after restarting in Safe Mode with networking by my previous answer - but be VERY CAREFUL and connect just long enough to do what you need to do.

    If my fix works, you should be able to connect to normal (Windows) to the time where you get to step 4. If not, well..., we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it.

  • Computer starts in the middle of the night

    After running four different games, I minimize all and put the computer to sleep or Hibernate. Sometimes in the middle of the night the computer starts and displays a screen of Google. The problem is, he loses all the games. It is said that they are not protected and I have for them all over again.
    My question is, how to protect them from losing. And why the computer starts in sleep or Hibernate?

    Hi HD RIDER 1,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Since when are you facing this problem?

    What are the recent changes?

    Do save you the game before you put the computer to sleep or into hibernation Mode?

    Are you using a mouse and keyboard wireless?

    Have you encountered this problem before?

    If you had not encountered this problem before you can go ahead and perform a restore of the system on your computer.

    Try to restore the operating system to an earlier point in time when it worked great for the steps below:

     

    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

     

    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

     

    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
     

    Click Finish.

  • the computer starts automatically to perform a scheduled task

    . Using MS and Office 10, at night after I've apres que j' ai ferme closed computer off tension and a scan or upgrade is expected early the morning before I restart, because restarting the computer automatically during the scan or update.  Thank you and Semper Ben

    Hi Ben,

    1. what program you use to scan the computer?

    If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, to launch the scheduled scan, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or hibernation mode. The computer might be in idle state (no programs are running) to run a scheduled scan. If the computer is turned off or in hibernation when the scan of the annex, at the next restart, that the scan will not start automatically because the scheduled scan time is up and launch scan only the next scheduled time.

  • The Apple Mobile Device Service service on Local computer started and then stopped.

    My iDevice doesn't connect to iTunes, I think its a result of the apple mobile device service. The restart option doesn't come up, it just says  "start the service" and when I click that an error comes up which says "The Apple Mobile Device Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if not in use by other services or programs". (I've already got a post with this information on I just wanted to make it more clear)

    If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:

    1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
    2. Plug in your device
    3. Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
    4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
    5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
      C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    7. Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
    8. Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    9. Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager

    To step 3 above, open the Device Manager. Expand one of the articles that are listed.

    • USB Bus controllers
    • Imaging devices
    • Portable devices
    • Other devices

    Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.

    Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support

    If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you roll back to 12.3.3.17 to 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need restore the database in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.
