There's a setting in the BIOS which means that internet connections can turn on your computer. The other causes can be power supply problems or bad drivers for something. I'll find a quote for the BIOS thing for now so you can check that isn't the problem (or fix it).

Someone else wrote:You typically enter BIOS by restarting your computer and
immediately pressing the Delete key repeatedly until you
enter the BIOS Utility Screen (usually in blue). The fix
is fairly easy.

1. Once in BIOS, go to Power Options
(refer to the owner's manual if you do not know where it is).

2. Scroll down to Wake On LAN and/or Wake On Ring
and change them to Disable. This will prevent Scroll
down to Wake on LAN and / or Wake on Ring and Change
them to DISABLE
This will prevent the computer from being able to come
out of its power down mode whenever the phone rings or
if LAN activity occurs
3)Once on Bios go to to Power Management, then to Resume by PCI PME and disabled that as well

Have you tried burning lilac incense? It is supposed to make computer ghosts friendly, talkative and most importantly dancative. Wouldn't it be distressing if you were a ghost, and a talkative one, but noone could ever hear you, and you had so much stuff to say and chat about but noone ever noticed you... Maybe we should spend 5 minutes a day trying to listen to nothing for the sounds of talkative ghosts.

Indeed, you should try to put aside some time every day. However the trend hasn't caught on yet so be wary of letting uninspired people see you talking to your computing machine.

Show them that and vanishalise their illusions into puffs of smoke! (or tendrils of smoke if you alt+left click)

Anyway if it took them this long to realise you are crazy they must have a slow judge of character.
