PC Wakes But Recording Doesn't Happen

I've been using the Media Server and DVBViewer for ages now and I'm increasingly finding this problem.

I have it make auto timers and rely on it to wake my sleeping PC, record the show, then put it back to sleep. It's mostly unmonitored.

What I find is, I usually notice that first thing in the morning, the PC is awake when it shouldn't be. I turn on my screen, hover over the server icon in the taskbar and it tells me the the next timer to start is actually the one from the night before. My PC has woken up, but the recording hasn't happened. If I open the web interface, that appears stuck too and still shows the timer event that didn't happen. I either restart the server or my PC and then it will update to show the next timer. I took a look at the logs and I can see entries like "Invalid Timer" with the program that should have recorded the previous night.
Before I do a fresh install of Windows, please can someone knowledgable take a look and tell me if there's something in my setup that's wrong? It's a relatively new PC I built in Jan 24 with a Hauppauge HVR5525 which gets an aerial and satellite feed and then a USB Nova S2 Satellite stick. Thanks for any help anyone can give. I'm leaving the PC on from now on to see if my timers start without it having to come out of sleep.
