Netbook keeps waking from sleep (win 7 32bit)

[TyMac]

For some reason my netbook keeps waking up from sleep. It has not been touched and abut 15 min later I'll walk in the room and it's on. It does not do this on Linux. Any ideas?

Check device manager to see what events are allowed to wake up the machine via networking.

None of the nic devices are checked to allow the computer to wake from sleep.

Is the machine sitting somewhere where people can bump the table?

Not really but possibly.

Any vibration that can affect the mouse can cause a wakeup.

Is there any way to know what is waking it up? Maybe something in event log or something I can log to event log... etc?

If you have ruled out the network, only keyboard or mouse input will wake up the system.
Put the mouse securely on its back and see if the problem persists.

If you don't have it already install Process Explorer and scrutinize the processes running. ua549- is it possible some process is "waking" the system without any input device being activated?

There may be some "alarm clock" code in the schedule. Run taskschd.msc to see if there are any tasks scheduled.

You may wish to explore powercfg from a CMD window. There are many options.
First look at powercfg –devicequery wake_armed and turn off any armed device.
Then run powercfg /? to explore the other options.
