okay.. i have a problem (of course) ive got a OptiPlex GX150 the computer is completly stripped right now.. when i plug the power cord in the light on the motherboard comes on. so theres power. (also tried another ps didn't work) i unplugged the safety switch (i guess thats what it is, a switch for when the computer is open) anyways for some reason the computer came on when i was eating (in another room) when i came back the fans were on, but i had everything unplugged.. so couldn't see if the monitor would come on.. then i tried using the switch to power it off (no good, even holding down)had to unplug it.. any suggestions PLEASE HELP!! after switch didn't work..

check the switch itself and the wiring and motherboard connector. i suppose a short could explain your computer starting itself.
