Default VERY wierd behavior
Ok, for the past couple of days I've been putting my computer into "Sleep" mode when I go to work....

I come home after a long day, turn on the light in my office and the computer starts up!!!

Two days in a row?? WTF??

Is there ANY chance that there's a light sensor or something built into my case? Is it picking up the light turning on through the electrical??

This is just ODD!!!

Has anyone else had this happen?

It's only started since I went to the Raven case...

Have you ever possibly thought that the plug your computer is plugged into is controlled by the switch?

That couldnt be hes saying its in sleep mode and it reactivates when he turns on the light, not going from off to on like a switch would. I dont even think power fluctuations are supose to effect sleep mode, just peripherals and network acsess. Deffinetly strange behavior but I doubt you have a sensor built into the PC.

Oh, and I'm nowhere near the desk, so it's not like I'm touching the mouse or keyboard...

maybe you should keep your computer sleeping and not disturb it by turning on the lights!.

do you actually see it turn on, or is it already turned on?
