Hi all,

HP Windows XP Professional SP2 at 5.00am of every morning my computer
restarts by itself after leaving it in standby over night this has
been going on now for several weeks, if anyone can help I would be
very grateful.

Thanks in advance
DG

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.
