To get to the BIOS you usuallt have to hit the ESC BEFORE you see the
spalsh screen that shows the Windows logo. Instructions on what keys =
to
use to change settings are on the left side panel. Do NOT change
anything you don't understand, unless specifically instructed to do =
so.
If it turns on "by itself" - is it really "by itself", or is there a
cat in the room who could have bumped keys and cords, or vibrations,
phone ringing, etc.? If so, you have to make sure you have the =
computer
set to shut down on "shut down," rather then hibernate or stand by
(which are actually two different things).
Otherwise, you may have been hijacked, run spy/ad-ware checkers.
