Do you have a telephone line connected to the computer? It will wake up
upon getting a ring, thinking a fax is coming.

Went over your post 4 times.
Have concluded the PC is waking up from standby after ten minutes, then goes
back into standby again.
The PC is not turned off in standby.

Have no idea of your problem, as my PC is either off or on. No in-between
like standby or hibernate.

All the wake PC settings I see in my bios will wake the PC when its
completely off.
