Hadn't thought of that so I looked just now. Nothing is checked
and the options are Wake when the modem detects a ring and Wake
for Ethernet network administrator access.

Wake on LAN isn't the problem anyway. I have that enabled on our
machines, and they happily sleep, and only wake up when I send them a
WOL packet.

Do you have a 3rd party SCSI card or something installed? That kept our
ol' Sawtooth awake for years, until SCSI went away and I removed it. Now
it sleeps peacefully.

It should be easy to rule out network, and almost rule out USB devices
(you can shut the system down with only the mouse, or with only the
keyboard). If it's neither of those, possibly a weak motherboard
battery could cause it.
