Checked windows sheduler its empty i have not sheduled any task.I have a abit ip35 -E in which section is this boot time thing set:huh: cause i dont remember seeing that setting:ashamed:
 
Explore the bios, see if any settings are responsible..

Check task manager , see if any unusual process is running..

Else it may be a virus or something..
 
IF it's not BIOS, a program must be running in your system background that triggers the hibernate.. call it a virus if you want to..
 
Funny ...sorry....format and reinstall windows

and do not install anything for your Ups

and avoid unwanted applications

Install a internet security like KIS or NIS or Avast (don't use downloaded pirated stuffs)
