    last night i powered down/switched off the pc before heading to bed. about half an hour to an hour after i got into bed my pc literally switched itself on :eek:! thinking 'wtf?!' i got out of bed switched it off by the power button and went back to bed. few minutes later it switched itself back on again :eek:!
