Vista restarts itself...

[n00k]

I am running Vista 64bit Home Premium with 3gigs or ddr ram, and an
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+, with a 70gig primary IDE drive and a
150gig secondary SATA drive. For some reason, it seems as though when
it goes into sleep mode, it decided to restart instead. No errors or
anything. And I checked the system log and didn't see anything fishy.
Any ideas? TIA!!!!

I's probably that Vista's installing updates to your computer. If you don't
like it go to Control Panel > Windows Update > Change settings > Click
'Download updates but let me choose whether to install them'.

You might check your BIOS to see if wake on LAN is set active.

Should be something in the event log for shutdown/start .. look for things
which happen before htat (e.g., Windows Update)

Other have also referenced the BIOS, is there a not so complicated process to
correct? thanks

Not if it is BIOS caused. One possibility is you have a scheduled activity
that triggers an active BIOS function, so you might check to see if you can
stop it within Windows.
