I need help!!
Don't think I am crazy, ok?
When I shut down my computer at night and I shut it down properly, before I wake the next morning my computer has powered itself up all by itself. I built this computer and I must have some BIOS settings or something wrong. Someone please help me straighten this problem out. Please email me with the solution and guidance. I am running Windows ME and I have a Intel 1.7 processor if this helps. littledebby@charter.net Thanking you in advance, Debby |

Hi littledee,
Welcome to PCMechanic! Sometimes, but not all, a restarting pc can be a low CMOS battery. Replace the battery. They're very reasonably priced and you can get them at many places. Carl |

Hi littledee, welcome to the PC Mech forums!
Go into the BIOS and check the Power On options, there should be a monitor, keyboard, and some other possible ones, turn them all off. |

Check the BIOS for WOL, WOR, any "wake on" feature.
Usually found in the power options section. |
