Hi all,

HP Windows XP Professional SP2 at 5.00am of every morning my computer
restarts by itself after leaving it in standby over night this has
been going on now for several weeks, if anyone can help I would be
very grateful.

Thanks in advance
DG

What happens if you keep it fully operating overnight?

Adding to Pegasus advise check the BIOS settings for Wake up on LAN or WAN.
Check the event viewer for error messages on the same time say at 5.0 AM and
post them back here.

Are there any Scheduled Tasks?

Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks?

Why leave it on all night?
Just disconnect it from power at the wall.

I think I've found it in Scheduled Tasks under (check updates for
windows live toolbar) last one was run this morning at 05.03am so I've
changed it to Sunday at 02.00pm if that does the trick then I'll know
what's been happening and I'll disable it as I don't use it anymore.
Thanks guys for your help.
