Default computer keeps switching itself on!

sometimes if the bios settings
are enabled, the computer
will wake up by itself.

what you need to check is
your bios settings by pressing
the f2 key as soon as you
press the power on button..

then look for any settings
that reference "wake" and
disable them.

Hi,
For some reason, occasionally I wake up in the morning and my computer has
switched itself on as if I'd done it myself!
I'm sure its not on standby or anything as I've never fiddled with those
settings. (Windows XP)
Has anyone any idea how to stop this/reason why its happening?
Many thanks
T
