My computer seems to randomly turn itself on, usually in the middle of the night when I’m asleep. It’s in my bedroom so it wakes me up. I’m running Windows 7 and I don’t know if it’s trying to runs updates but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything once it’s on. It only seems…
I am using win 7 64 bit. I tried the solution given here, didn’t help. David’s answer makes me think this is futile. Is there anything else to try? Updates: Notice that I have a graphic card on my motherboard (with 512MB), so in theory, it doesn’t need any external memory. Also, notice the BIOS…

Just about every night I put my Windows 7 computer to sleep, and then I turn off the power to my bluetooth keyboard. Almost always, the next morning my computer has woken up, keyboard still off. I’m using a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 7000 keyboard (no mouse) and the associated USB adapter. Everything is setup so…
What is going on here? I have almost nothing running. By almost nothing, I mean Firefox, and some background network applications that are entirely passive and would never use this much memory. Related services: UxSms, TrkWks, SysMain, PcaSvc, Netman, CscService, AudioEndpointBuilder, TabletInputService The only thing I can think of is that I was running Virtualbox…
On windows 7, I have a user account of the ‘administrator’ type. However, whenever I try to do anything that only admins can do (ie: run a few cmd commands), I receive a message that I don’t have the privileges. This happens on the same computer with a different admin account as well. I have…
