Abstract
A basic input output system (BIOS) or equivalently functional circuitry can determine when an invalid shutdown event occurred (e.g., power loss) and subsequently, whether a false remote system wake event is received by the computer system and allow processing to bypass wakeup processing to avoid false wakeup commands received from components of the computer system such as LAN cards and modems. A computer system employing false wakeup command functionality is further claimed along with medium storing means for preventing wakeup processing when a false wakeup command is received.
