I just got a new computer that has Vista Basic as the O/S. All day long, it turns itself on and off and random intervals. I have tried to mess with the Sleep mode and the hibernation settings, but that doesn't seem to help. It is very strange. Sometimes, all I need to do is hit a key and it turns on. Sometimes, I need to push the power button and then enter my password.
Any ideas? Thanks.
