Here we go again!
I recently had upgraded to broadband and now my computer boots itself up from hibernation,which is where I leave it when I go to work. This happened 3 straight days last week and I went through alot of settings to insure it wouldn't happen again. For a week it was fine but when I came home from work today...it was on!
What should I check or should I just turn it off completely when I go out?

Check the BIOS settings to see if you can disable network boot.

Yes, turn it off completely when you leave. Do not use Hibernation.
