Unplug it from the router and see if it behaves the same way .
Chances are its starting on the network . If thats the case you will be able to change a setting in BIOS so it will not start .

Also check that its not set to check for windows or program updates at that time .

Listing all your hardware doesn't do anything. Hardware are dumb metal+silicon+plastic, is software that make them do things.

By itself? HARDLY, either YOU installed something new, OR the automated updates that you folks obediently have vendors do is doing a number. Check Windows housekeeping tasks, is it waking up in the middle of the night to do indexing? Go play tech support.
