Why My Laptop Gets Atomically On

Hi there, and welcome to Helpowl, I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

Your hardware seems to be OK.
You might need to repair or re-install your operating system.

I suffered this when I was configuring the partitions on my laptop. Use a program like GPartEd which is free and has a LiveCD version which you can boot from. Once you have the partition editor running, make sure the partition you have the Operating System on (Windows Vista?) is the ACTIVE/BOOT partition.

If it already is flagged as the active/boot partition, then the boot sequence for you machine has become corrupt. I would suggest something like the Ultimate Boot CD or maybe Hirem's Boot CD which has a lot of tools to configure mbr, boot sequence or partitions. You can back up all your files to another machine or drive before you do anything too - which would be rather important in case you wipe everything.

Failing all the above, a simple search for the "Vista Boot Manager" may help provide some answers for you.

Hope this helps.

You may want to check if you have any of your network adapter in device manager automatically wake the notebook.

Also take a look in the bios as well and disable WOL.

What you can also do as a last resort is to do a factory reset. Restart your computer and keep pressing F9.

If you have windows 8, then you will have to go in the charm bar, settings, change pc settings, general, and remove all.

There might be a problem with the power switch/button of your Asus X54C-RS01. The very first thing that you have to consider is the frequency of automatic turning on of your computer. You may be required to seek the help of a computer expert for proper diagnosis.
