OK, but seek for what? There is a myriad of records, and I couldn't find the appropriate event ids.
For the first few events after it woke up.

If your computer is awake in the morning, chances are that it is caused by the Windows Update process. Updates can get installed at 3AM and a that (scheduled) task will wake your computer.
ASKER
OK. I will try turning off wake switches on LAN card and also Wake timers, and get back!
Did you do as I suggested? That would help us advance.
ASKER
Yes I did!, and it works :-)
Thaks!
Thaks!

It was the LAN card!
Does not have to be a device, could be a scheduled task as well. Please look into the system event log to find out about the time and cause.
