I recently have a funny problem. My computer start automaticaly when is off.
Exemple: I closed my computer yesterday night (and he was realy closed) and in the morning he was open. I never push the button to start it and i'm alone in my house.
He does that since i have cable internet (4 days).

Enter the Bios setup routine. Check the first screen that shows up when you boot for the key(s) to hit. Look for a 'Power Management' screen (it might be named something else). There will be settings to wake up on different things, like LAN, phone ring, alarm, etc. Make sure that they are Disabled.
Does your problem happen every night? Or just only one time so far? If the problem starts to happen more frequenly, it is likely the power supply has a problem. If the power supply has problem, you need to replace it with the new one.
