Problem description: My Computer keeps booting by itself, it doesn't seem to be related to time or day, it doesn't install updates and shuts itself down again or anything, it just boots and stays at the login screen. It happens after putting it in power saving (suspend mode i think its called) or shutting it down propper. Its driving me loving mad cause sometimes i get up in the morning and the loving computer is running, or I go to bed and see it running even if i havent used it that day. Attempted fixes: disabled wake-on-lan in UEFI, disabled "this device can wake up the computer" for the LAN adapter, im pretty sure i disabled the whole "windows update can boot the computer to install updates" thing but i cant seem to find the option now Recent changes: Nothing -- Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64 fully updated System specs: AsRock Z97E-ITX-ac, Intel i5 4690k, 16 GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix Sport, MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G, Corsair RM650X, Samsung SSD 850 Evo 1TB Location: Germany I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

I'm willing to bet that it's a USB device that's waking up your computer- your mouse or keyboard or something. Run this in a command prompt (right-click the windows icon and choose command prompt from the list). It will return all devices that are currently configured to be able to wake up your computer. code:code:Actuarial Fables fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Nov 10, 2016 |

Thanks i'll give it a try. My mouse and keyboard were in that list several times and i just deleted all of them. Lets see how it goes. Seeing as this happened seemingly at random it might take a couple of days to see if it actually worked

Welp so much for that. Just had it boot again by itself even though there are no devices left in the list. Any other ideas?

A BIOS upgrade perhaps?

Open up the Event Viewer (right-click windows icon, pick event viewer). On the left-hand column expand out Windows Logs and pick System. Either look for logs with the time when the computer booted on its own, or select "Filter Current Log..." on the right-hand column and In the "Event sources:" dropdown choose Kernel-Power and Power-Troublehsooter. Check out the logs, look at the Reason part for Kernel-Power or Wake Source for Power-Troubleshooter.

Wake Source: Unknown Well thats helpful .There don't seem to be any logs from a selfboot in the middle of the day which is weird.

Try disconnecting it from the network and then shutting it down. This will eliminate any Wake on Lan - outside possibility, but it can't hurt to check.

Actuarial Fables posted:Figures. I dont think so. But i cant really be sure since its so random. The last hardware changes were upgrading from a Geforce GTX 970 to a GTX 980ti and putting it into a smaller case. Not really something that should cause this. I'll try the network disconnect just for the sake of it.

Not really something that should cause this. Did you screw down the motherboard in all four of the mounting points?
