Haunted Laptop?

Hi

Is this one for ghostbusters?

I have a Dell Studio 17 laptop with Vista home on it been a good computer but having an annoying problem.

Most time it switches off ok, but 50 % of the time , sometimes more sometimes less it will switch itself back on. Can be after 5 minutes can be as long as a few hours then all of a sudden you see the light on and it is at the start screen to put your password in.

Everything else is fine, opens normally shuts down sometimes perfectly, but of course if i don't see it has started again it just runs the battery down, until i plug it back in again.

I have a Macfee security on it and like i say everything else is fine.

Any ideas please are so welcome.

Would like to get this sorted

Kind regards

Phil
 
I have one of them, but haven't used it in quite some time. Check the bios for "Wake on" settings and see if any are enabled.
