I have disk defrag scheduled every midnight.

Unplug it?

How hard is it to read 3 pages of posts?

Plug off the power?

I need my PC connected with power so that when I send the WOL command, it turns on. Last thing I need is to be unable to turn it on

This was even on the first page :/

I have disk defrag scheduled every midnight.

My scheduler says I have nothing to run during midnight, in fact, its not scheduled to do anything at all lol

[.::Taboo::.]

It's a virus, and a very impressive one. I had it on my XP once and really I couldn't figure anything to do but either System Restore (Though if this is the one I had it will have broken and wiped out system restore points) or perform a factory reset.

Try checkdisk and defrag. Do those and it should stop, if it doesnt, I dont know.

I just went to defrag and apperently its back to "Defrag at 1AM every Wed" :/

I can do the system check when I sleep tonight :P

I agree with turning off your computer instead of hibernating it. I did that with my old computer and it eventually got incredibly slow and overheated easily. It may seem faster now but after a while it will be even slower.

Get your shotty out and threaten your laptop when he starts turning on. If it doesn't work, get a bigger shotgun.

Ok. Let's be serious now.

I think reseting the system is a pretty good idea. Check if any recently installed programs are malicious and... call an exorcist to see if your PC isn't demonic. I am serious. Apparently, haunted technology exists, so give it a try.

Maybe the problem is physical... do some surgery on your computer again.

What physical issue could cause the chronic midnight pains and sweats?

[Shocklink]

Apparently shutting it off completely does the trick... Does anyone wana explain to me why is that?
