    Windows 7 Win7 x64 powers on automatically and can't find the source

    Was wondering if anyone can help me. I use sleep and hibernation a lot but I've been finding that my system seems to power on by itself after I go to bed. Can't tell when it happens, though and was wondering if anybody has had the same problem or know the cause?
