Hibernate comes on by itself?

[rwrede]

I have my computer Hibernate overnight but I noticed it coming on by itself
about 9:15-9:40 am. I know this is strange because in hibernation only
physically turning it back on is supposed to be the only way to bring it out
of hibernation, no prompting by a program (such as "update" or the like)
will work. How is it coming on by itself?

HP, windows XP, SP2 (sp2 was installed at factory not downloaded)

Check your BIOS for On Modem Ring or On LAN or Wake on LAN or Wake On Modem
or similar.

I have an HP, do I press F1 and F2 or just one or the other durring startup
to access BIOS?

 

[rwrede]

I checked the BIOS (Phoenix CMOS?) and fished through the different tabs,
General, Power, etc and can't find anything. I don't think I was in the
BIOS, I've seen a fellow at work in bios and it didn't look the same. Mine
said CMOS

Look for some sort of Wake-Up event, usually under Power Management.

Modem (Wake on Ring) or network card (Wake on LAN).

BIOS is an acronym for basic input/output system.

CMOS is short for complementary metal oxide semiconductor. Pronounced
see-moss, CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor.

BIOS is often confused with CMOS.

CMOS is the physical computer chip that holds the BIOS settings in memory.

The CMOS or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor is an on-board
semiconductor chip. Which requires very low power generated from various
types of CMOS batteries. This chip is used to store important system
information and configuration settings while the computer is off and on.
This also allows things such as your time and date to be stored on your
computer. This important system information is the BIOS info.

The BIOS settings that you use to control how your PC works must be saved in
non-volatile memory so that they are preserved even when the machine is off.
This is as opposed to regular system memory, which is cleared each time you
turn off the PC. A special type of memory is used to store this
information, called CMOS memory, and a very small battery is used to trickle
a small charge to it to make sure that the data it holds is always
preserved. These memories are very small, typically 64 bytes, and the
batteries that they use typically last for years.

Fixed... went to System>Hardware>Device Mgr.>Network Adaptor (and
Modem)Properties>Power Management> uncheck "Allow this device to bring the
computer out of standby"

Ah, there you go. Good job! Glad you got it worked out.
