This is REALLY starting to bug me now.

Every night me PC automatically switches to the shutdown screen. No freezing, no BSOD, but the actual "Windows Shutdown" screen. You cannot close it, it simply re-appears, and if you choose any of the 3 options, it simply reappears. I have no idea how to solve this, and believe me I've been trying to fix it.

It used to happen at 11:34PM EVERY night on the dot, but now it's switched times and I have no idea how to tell when it will appear as when I come home it's already at the screen. So now it's sometime before 10:00PM (just got home, it was there). I have to pull the plug and cold boot every time, and it sucks because I have programs working and they are always interrupted when I do this.

How do I solve this!!?!!?!?!??!?!?!!?!

I used to simply move my PC's clock past 11:34PM when I got close, and I could bypass this litle problem. But that won't work anymroe as I don't know what time it freezes anymore. It's definetly got something to do with the time of day. I thought it was my network, but NONE of the other computers on the network have this problem.
 
do you have any type of clock that is telling your computer to shutdown and a certain type? and then it just might not being shutting down properly... aslo does your computer shut down fine if you shut it off normally, when the screen doesn't pop up? also you should try posting a hijack log... might be some problems there...

Well, besides the normal system clock that every Windows based machines has I have no kind of scheduled shutdown. I tried looking in all my programs for some kind of auto-update and reboot option but found none. I couldn't find any kind of "Shutdown on signal" option in the BIOS either.

It does shutdown fine normally. The screen pops up, I choose shutdown, and it turns off jsut fine.

I'll run a HJTL and post it up. I've just run Adaware, Ewido, and Windows Anti Malware and got 0 bad results. But maybe it will pickup something.
 
Here we go, not too long.

i really don't know much about these logs... but i'm guessing the "file missing" can't be good... buzz will kno... and he will know how to fix that...
 
That is part of norton, it's not good that it is gone! That is the real time virus scan program. It will detect a virus without running a scan. Still, not the cause of your problem.
 
Argh, I guess if no one has any ideas I'll try changing my network card. Googling has come up with nothing, and my dad swears up and down that he hasn't set up a time for my PC to reboot via the network (he used to do this when i was younger to prevent me from staying up on the PC).

Very confusing...
 
its prabally 10:34 now, because before it was at 11:34, but the time change where you have to set your clocks forward an hour prabally made it an hour behide.
