Quick System Standby Question

[Guest Danger_Duck]

Is there any way to set my computer to return from standby/hibernate/sleep

etc. only by keystrokes rather than mouse movement? Or better yet, only when

the power button is pressed?

 

I feel that it randomly boots up again (like when I'm sleeping) and I'm

trying to see if this is a mouse issue or something else.

 

Thanks!

Go into BIOS and make sure 'Wake on LAN' is not active.

Not that I know of. Unplug the mouse and see if that will work for you.

Where do I access the basic input/output in windows? I don't see it in

control panel...I could be rather blind, though

The BIOS is not in the control panel. Watch your boot screen and push the

key that is indicated to enter setup (the BIOS).
