Hey /g/uys, at night my computer which is off keeps on turning on for a breif second and closing down. Last night I was sitting at my desk and like clockwork at about 4:10 it flashed its screen on harddrive humming and then immediately shut down like ususal.

I didn't get the best look the screen but it seemed to just be a regular startup screen.

Whats the purpose of this?
Do you think that someone is taking data like a webcam pic, or something like recording its GPS Location. Sending audio files its recorded without my consent?

Maybe its how computers try to get slow over time. Every night a high quality couple gigabite pic it taken and stored on the harddrive, you cant delete. Over years the data of the pictures add up and slow down your computer. I bairly have anything on this labtop and running solidworks is a pain and so laggy. For the most part I never even touch this labtop. Its pretty expensive but struggle to use a 3d software? What do you think is up?

Desktop or Laptop?

Does it have Intel Smart Connect Technology? I think that could be the issue

As you can see its a dell labtop (not the cheap thin shit you see at schools)

At the sticker says "intel inside"

I believe Windows 10 is able to turn the computer on for various legitimate reasons. To prevent it pull the battery out if it really is a big deal.

Not 100% certain though.

Well i got windows 8

Looked up>>55244383
It seems to match up

Pulling out the battery might work
[spoiler] but what if the internal battery can still turn it in [/spoiler]
>>
my desktop was doing the same shit with win 10 and would also wake it from sleep and leave it on, i got fed up and switched to linux a few weeks ago. i still have windows on a separate partition but it seems to have stopped. could probably still cause issues if it was the last selected os maybe
