Arcade Turns Itself On
Don:
Are you shutting down the pc or hibernating? I ask because a pc i had would turn itself back on randomly if left on at the mains after i hibernated it.
TOK:
Do you have "Wake On LAN" or something similar enabled in the BIOS?
Different BIOS manufacturers might call it something else, but if you have you machine on a network and it receives network traffic, it will start the machine.
saint:
Does the smart strip have a dial to adjust the sensitivity? If so, try turning it down.
Veeb0rg:
Chech the bios for an option *system on on power* or something similar and change it. I'm betting that the bios/psu is sensing a power drop from a fridge/ac kicking on and turning on when the power levels out again thinking you just turned the power on.
syph007:
Some virus scanners will cause a machine to wake for a scan as well.
