Computer turns itself on

My one computer was working fine but i need to use its mouse and keyboard for another machine. So i turned it off unplugged everything and went on merry way. I come back to hook the machine back up and when i plug the power cable into the computer it powers itself on. I also have no video either. I can turn it off and turn it back on via the switch but still no video. I tried different monitors and that didnt work either. I get no beeps so it isnt trying to post either. Suggestions?
 
I did the video, i will try the memory again. You mean the Cmos? I did the cmos, the bios i cant do cause i have no video.
 
The CMOS is merely how you access and make changes in the BIOS. If you have your computer connected to a power strip or UPS, and that is OFF - it cannot start itself.
 
I solved the problem. I finally got around to pulling stuff and reseating it and here it was the CPU was just misseated.
