Hi, my PC specs are as follows:

FX-8320 (4.2 GHz OC, stable)

M5A97 R2.0

2x4GB GeIL Dragon 1600 MHz RAM

Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X

Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm 1 TB

Crucial MX100 256 GB (new addition)

Windows 7 x64 up to date

Avast free anti-virus

I've had this problem since day one, IIRC. I checked on BIOS and "wake up by RTC alarm" is off. Also windows "allow wake timers" is also disabled. Windows is set to never go to sleep or hibernate, since I download a lot and if I want it to hibernate, I'll set it through the downloading software. Also, the timing of waking up seems to be at about 1 am and 1 pm. I've been opting to turn off the PSU as well after turning off the computer which is not a very good solution, as my mouse e.g. resets the DPI settings if its turned off and it's pretty annoying.

Any solution?
