Computer restarts after "Hibernate."
My system will not shut down properly in Win 8.1. It was that way in Win 8 as well. Nothing would fix the problem so I just used "Hibernate" instead of "Shutdown," and things seemed to work find for a couple of years! But now the computer has begun to restart by itself, hours later, in the middle of the night! Is there a fix for this?
If there is no way to get the computer to stay "off" after I turn it off, do you think I can insert an on/off switch between the computer and the wall outlet? I thought the computer was really OFF, after I choose "Hibernate." So I was hoping that the switch would just prevent an auto-restart. I really don't know much about this.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanx...
