About 2- 5 minutes after I put my computer on either
standby or hibernation, it wakes itself up. I have no
idea what causes this and would like some help to stop
it. Thanks.
 
Hi Bob,

Possibly a "wake on..." feature is enabled in the system BIOS. This is
especially so if you have a cable internet connection, it is probably doing
a "wake on lan" everytime the connection renews itself. Check the BIOS and
disable this feature.
