Something is bringing it out of standby. Network cards can do this, wake up your pc. Check to see if yours is doing that.
Start
Right click on my computer/Properties
Hardware
Device manager
Network adapters / Expand it
Select your card, Right click, select properties
Tabe that says Power Management
Make sure the second box is unchecked – says allow this network card to bring your computer out of sleep state.
