Check your BIOS for any conditions that allow the computer to turn on. You
might test to see if you change the time that Vista Update checks for
updates, you could set it for another time.

It installs any new updates from Windows Update at 03:00. Assuming its
properly configured it should go back to sleep once its finished.

You can change this behavior by going to Control Panel > Security > Windows
Update > Change settings.
