This is going to sound strange but...I recently upgraded to a cable modem. For the last 3 days, I get home from work and the computer is powered on by itself. I know I put it in hibernation mode in the morning and never had this problem until the new cable connection. I checked in "scheduled" on the control panel but nothing is there,so where else should I look for the reason?
