What happens if you keep it fully operating overnight?

Adding to Pegasus advise check the BIOS settings for Wake up on LAN or WAN.

Check the event viewer for error messages on the same time say at 5.0 AM and

post them back here.

Are there any Scheduled Tasks?

 

Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks?

Why leave it on all night?

Just disconnect it from power at the wall.

I think I've found it in Scheduled Tasks under (check updates for

windows live toolbar) last one was run this morning at 05.03am so I've

changed it to Sunday at 02.00pm if that does the trick then I'll know

what's been happening and I'll disable it as I don't use it anymore.

Thanks guys for your help.

Sorry guys it did it again this morning as usual, I know because I get

up at 5 to go to work, so its back to square 1, I'll have to look at

the BIOS settings when I have more time probably on my rest days

starting at weekend, thanks again.

What entries appear in the Event Viewer logs immediately before it

restarts?

 

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,

Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

 

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double

click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a

button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event

Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of

the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from

Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

I suspect its the Media Center Guide at least that's what it looks

like looking at the event viewer, I never use the Media Center so have

any of you any ideas on how I can disable it perhaps that will solve

my problem, I hope. Thanks again.

Problem solved, woke up this morning at 9.00am computer still in

standby here's what I did

went into Media Center > settings> disabled everything but couldn't

see anything to re-schedule a time to download TV guide information

which to me seems wrong except you can do it manually, so to all you

guys out there who have a Media Center PC I suppose you just have to

put up with it, on the other hand maybe I missed something, I don't

know, but it worked for me.

So to sum up if all else fails i.e. scheduled tasks, wake-up on LAN,

event viewer, go into your Media Center settings.

Hope this helps for future reference.

For those of you who are not in the know wake-up on LAN is in the BIOS

settings to get there I have to press the F1 key continually on my HP

computer, I wish I could remove the Media Center completely like I've

said previously I don't use it and I don't think they are all they are

cracked up to be, useless, well it doesn't work for me

Windows Media Centre does not by itself cause Windows to

reboot. If it did then we would have heard about it a long time

ago. Seeing that you reported once before that your problem

was solved, I suggest you wait a week or two before claiming

final victory.
