Also I have noticed that my PC, when put into hibernation, restarts itself after a time. WTF is up with that? Any suggestions or comments?

It might be a WOL (Wake On LAN) thing. Do you have any services running that other CPU's might be trying to access? Web or FTP services? Are you hosting / proxying an I-net connection for other PC's? Do you have any scheduled tasks like a backup?

Just a quick guess or two...

Hey PES and rdouglass, long time no post guys.

Glad to see you both posting again.

I ran Nortan, Panda Soft, and one other recommended AV. I ran spy bot, pest patrol, and one other. They all came up clean. To be safe I also ran Stinger.

I think its just as Aiken and rdouglass said, another program is using it in the back ground. Or that my system had an auto update or something that a program wanted to run at a pre-scheduled time.
