Posted October 20, 2018 When I put my computer (Windows 7) into hibernate, why does it 'wake up' after a random amount of time? I have found it exhibits this behaviour in sleep mode as well. I put my computer into hibernate when I'm working on something and have a lot of chrome tabs open and don't want to waste time reopening them if I shut it down - thus hibernate or sleep. The period of time between the computer actually shutting off and inexplicably powering back on can vary from a few seconds to a few hours. I can usually prevent it from turning back on when hibernating by switching off the power supply, but it takes longer to enter hibernate compared to sleep mode. Sleep mode is faster to enter but is, in my experience, more unpredictable in terms of when it will come back on. Has anyone else experienced similar odd behaviour?

Posted October 20, 2018 Many machines wake on mouse movement. Even little vibrations can cause that to happen. Turn your mouse over next time and see if it stays asleep. Could also be Wake on Lan, or Wake on Keypress, if you have a wonky keyboard. Other things can wake your machine as well, such as alarms, and perhaps windows update (if I'm remembering properly) Main Rig: Case: Lian Li Lancool Mesh RGB CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240 MB: MSI B550 Gaming Pro Carbon Ram: Gskill DDR4 3600 x 32GB GPU: Asus Arez Strix Vega 64 OC PS: Seasonic FOCUS Gold Plus Series SSR-750FX SSD1: Crucial P1 1TB NVME SSD2: Adata SU800 512gb M.2 Sata HDD: Hitatchi 2tb 7200RPM + 3x 2TB WD Passport USB 3.0 Monitors: AOC C24G1 Keyboard: Cheap Blue Knockoff Mechanical Mouse: Uhuru Gaming Mouse OS: Pop! 21.04 Current Vintage Equipment: Please ask me about it, I love to talk old tech!

When you put it on sleep and tap a key on your keyboard or move your mouse it turns on i think it works for hibernation in the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes even if you dont touch the mouse and it's sitting there alone, the cursor will move of a single pixel totally unexpectedly. A thing that would never happen with old school sphere mouses.
