Starts by itself from Hibernate at Midnight

This is the most aggravating thing ever, and I can't seem to find the culprit

First of all, it's a new X40. It doesn't start every night. Maybe a week or several days after not using it. It seems to come on at the stroke of midnight when it does come on. As far as I know, it's just when hibernating.

I have disabled "start on fax", "start on lan" settings in the bios and any control panels I could find. There are no scheduled tasks. There are no alarms scheduled. I even turned off windows update and ibm update services. I've turned off dozens of services trying to figure out what's wrong. According to IBM, I have the latest bios and don't need any other updates. IBM software support seems to have no clue what to do

It must be a software problem if it starts on the hour at midnight, right? So then it can't be a hardware issue.

I'm doing a factory reinstall of the operating system now, but who knows if that will help

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
