My pc will enter sleep mode only to re-awake just sitting there.
I can’t tell if a product is calling out or in, but I believe that’s what’s happening.
I cleaned the startup.
Any help?

Thanks Dave


My first suggestion would be to check your mouse. I’ve run into quite a few optical mice that will “spaz” out a bit while nothing is happening and pop the computer out of screensavers, etc.

You also may want to see if there’s something in your BIOS that’s causing it. Many BIOSes nowadays have “wake on” events such as network activity, incoming phone calls (modem), etc. You may want to check those out as well.

If it is a product calling in or whatnot then you may want to have another look at your startup config to make sure there’s nothing extra hiding somewhere.

Download HijackThis and see what it contains.
