    Hi,

    I bought a one of the new Z series with an i7-3612QM, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD and the Full HD Display a few weeks ago.

    I'm usually only using the hibernation mode instead of shutting it down. But during the night it's starting up automatically to do some tasks or whatever and doesn't shut down anymore until the battery gets low and it shuts down automatically at 5%.
    But this doesn't happen every night, maybe 5 times the last 14 days and it seems that it doesn't happen at the same time.

    I already checked the scheduled tasks for one thats allowed to start up, but haven't found any.

    Anybody here with the same problem?
    Any suggestions?

    I am curious to the answer. It happened to me a couple of times as well. I could not get out of it until the computer had shut down automatically due to low battery. After that I was able to start the computer up again.

    You might want to disable wake timers in advanced power settings (under your desired power plan).

    No logs about it in the system event log?

    Disabling the wake timer in the power settings, as alksv suggested, seems to work for me.
    I noticed no unwanted wake up during the last 8 days.
