|  PC Switches on at 12.42am every day?? Hey been trying to fix this for a while and have been unable to and wondered if anyone on here had any pointers to a solution? i have had many pc's and i have never experienced this. at 12.45am of every my pc turns on. its not a major problem as i can turn it off at the wall socket. but its the fact that its not perfect as it should be. the moment i press the power socket button the pc boots up. as if at 12.45 something activated and when given power now it turns on! its not lan wake up and i have no clue as to what it could be any ideas? cheers |

   | Re: PC Switches on at 12.42am every day?? Possible CMOS Alarm Clock. Clear CMOS or search for a turn on/off computer option at X time.

| Re: PC Switches on at 12.42am every day?? CMOS alam? i have been right thru the bios and any 'wake events' are all disabled. the one major annoyance here is that no matter what i try i have to wait till almost 1am to see if its fixed. and if it isnt i have another 24 hours till i can find if anything else i change does it. |

| Re: PC Switches on at 12.42am every day?? scheduled tasks is empty. it happens with a 100% fresh install of windows. it has to be the mother board but i cant fingure out what. anything that would wake up the pc is turned off. is it possible that the mother board is just a faulty and and this keeps happenin? or will there be an option i need to switch off? |

| Re: PC Switches on at 12.42am every day?? Did you get a manual with the mb? or just look it up, and check if there is any jumper connections that shouldn't be connected. What motherboard do you have?
