Hey guys,

My PC has been waking itself up from sleep without any wake timers or input from me such as clicking the mouse or typing on the keyboard. The "lastwake" command seems to indicate that the "Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 8 -1E1E" is responsible but I can't figure out why or how to fix it. Under the device manager it appears to be functioning properly with up to date drivers. I'm using Windows 7 64bit with a ASROCK Z77 Extreme9 board (everything in my signature).

There are no active wake timers in the system.
