Check your house wiring and/or power switch on your tower.

My pc turned on once during a period when the power was flickering on and off during a storm (years ago). I now turn off my surge protector and unplug it during storms as well as unplugging the telephone line to my modem.

Check your LAN settings in the bios if it is an on baord feature, or the setings if it is a pci board to see if you have "wake up" enabled.
