Hi everyone;
I just purchased a G750JW and so far, after working out all it's qwerks, it's running pretty good. Except for a few problems I just can't figure out.
One that is really bothering me is the fact that after I close my laptop and it goes to sleep, eventually it will power back on.
I haven't figured out the exact amount of time before it turns on, because it's usually after I have been gone for a few hours and come back to use my laptop.
The most recent example is Saturday night, my laptop was charged 100%. I closed the lid to put it to sleep and left it on my dresser (unplugged). Today (Monday) I go to use my laptop and the battery is completely drained.
I've caught my laptop on after closing it at least 3 times now and I can't figure out the problem. I've looked online and everyone suggests that it's the "wake on LAN" option but that's disabled in Windows and the BIOS.
My computer isn't set to automatically install updates (It will check for updates, but I install them manually). I don't have any USB devices connected usually. If I do it's my external mouse, but I turn that off when I put my laptop to sleep.
I'm really at a loss here. This machine has some great hardware, but I don't want to have this problem, and then have my laptop turn on randomly when I'm not using it, or when it's in my backpack.
Has ANYONE had this problem? Or can anyone give me some suggestions on how I can fix this?
I think I have my laptop set to Fast Boot from Sleep (But I can't remember where the option for that is) But I don't think that should be causing problems with this.
My system is fully updated to Windows 8.1 with all addition recommended and optional updates.

Could Bluetooth be waking it up?
