Weird PC Problem

Folks,
The specs of my computer are listed in "my rig."

I have a VERY weird computer problem.

I'd turn off my pc before I go to sleep, but the computer TURNS ITSELF back on.

I thought it was the overclocking, but since then, I've "reset" back to stock speeds.

Problem still occurs.

I seriously need some help, its getting annoying to have to unplug the pc each time I turn it off.

Thanks,
Michael

Wild guess here. Would Wake on LAN happen to be turned on in your BIOS? I know of some PCs that will still listen to LAN activity even after a full shutdown and bring themselves back up if the correct packet is sent.
 
Yup as others have said, it's definitely wake on LAN.

Go to your BIOS and disable it. Had the same problem w/ my roommates comp a few years back. Thought the computer was possessed 🙂
