I have toshiba m45 - s2652 laptop. It's been turning itself on just by itself everynight.. One thing I relized was, this happens at exactly 12 am everynight. I have no clue why this happens. First I thought it was one of those scheduled jobs (virus check, defragment), but i checked them and none of them were actually scheduled. I don't think it's a virus/spyware or any of that stuff either.. Because I checked for them many times and i have virus protection on anyway. Any help would be great. I will provide more info if needed, but for now i dont know what to put.
thanks for any help...

Is the notebook connected to a network connection when it does this? I am thinking "Wake on LAN" is turned on, you can keep it disconnected to see if it still turns on.
A timed boot is more indicative of a scheduled event, but you are giving reasons why that may be less likely.
