Seems when I put my computer into sleep mode it comes back on by itself. What could be causing this?

You may have something set to run under task scheduler which brings the computer out of sleep mode. Check to see what that might be. Also, if you have wake on LAN enabled, then network activity would bring the computer out of sleep mode.

Go to System-Device Manager-look for your network adapter and right click on it to bring up properties. Under power management, see if the option "Allow this device to wake the computer" is checked. If it is, uncheck it. Well, it doesn't say wake on LAN, but I also remember seeing that somewhere.
