weasal167 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hello everyone c: I have this huuggeee problem. I was going to bed last night, I turned off my computer, & I went and laid in bed to go to sleep. I didn't go to sleep right away, I was finishing up texting people and All of a sudden, about 10 ish minutes after I went to bed, My computer turned on, all by it self. & I have no explanation for it, Because, If a computers totally off, How can it turn it self on again?.. Especially ten minutes later?. & This isn't the first time this has happened. I left my house sunday and slept over my friends house, and when I came back home the next day, My computer was on, and on my OS X desktop.. Ive googled this problem twice and did alot of researching and have only seen two people with this problem on 10.5. Am I the only one running 10.7 Lion with this problem?.. If anyone has some kind of fix for this problem please let me know! Because I don't want to have to unplug my computer every night to keep it from turning on again >.< Thanks! -Jimmy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265170-hackintosh-turns-it-self-back-on-10-min-after-shutdown/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Could be MBR rootkit / BootKit or someone WOLing your PC. MBR rootkit is basically a virus/trojan that creates it's own hidden and encrypted partition and runs it's own "os" parallely to whichever OS you're using. Tip: #1 Try turning off Wake on LAN in BIOS setup. #2 Try this support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208280748 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265170-hackintosh-turns-it-self-back-on-10-min-after-shutdown/#findComment-1732683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try the first tip though & I'll let you know the result, Thanks! Oh, and I don't know why, But when I went to go turn off my computer the day after that, It didn't shutdown and just went to the OS X Lion login screen. So I just hit the shutdown button from the login screen and it shutdown, & Stayed off.. Which makes this problem even weirder.

Serokie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Try this in terminal: syslog |grep -i "Wake reason =" Will display the cause of your wakes. You have to see something like this: Sat Jul 10 08:49:33 MacBookPro kernel[0] : Wake reason = OHC1 Sat Jul 10 17:21:57 MacBookPro kernel[0] : Wake reason = PWRB Sun Jul 11 08:34:20 MacBookPro kernel[0] : Wake reason = EHC2 Sun Jul 16 18:25:28 MacBookPro kernel[0] : Wake reason = OHC1 And it will help you determine the problem. It's possible that the lag causes the problem on your computer. If turning off the lag doesn't work, try this tutorial. http://blog.martinshouse.com/2010/09/fixin...ow-leopard.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265170-hackintosh-turns-it-self-back-on-10-min-after-shutdown/#findComment-1733079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranguvar Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Great tip above. Check your BIOS for Wake on Keyboard, Wake on LAN, and other "Wake" options. If none are selected, it's a serious PSU/mobo issue or else a rootkit/hack of some time.

weasal167 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hmmm. I typed syslog |grep -i "Wake reason =" in Terminal and nothing happened.. & I checked in my Bios for any Wake options and I didn't see any. & It can't be, Because It doesn't do this when I shutdown after booting in to my Windows 7 Harddrive & It didn't do this before I upgraded my OS X Snow Leopard to Lion.
