ok so my computer is actually pretty good. it doesnt crash i have never had a virus and my spyware count is very low. however, when i turn off my computer it will turn itself back on.

the first time it happened was about two years ago. it was really late at night and i was watching tv. doubting that i would need it again that night i turned it off. about 10 minutes later it turned back on. i turned it back off and sure enough a few minutes later it turned back on. i kept doing this enough to where i just gave up. it still has this problem, it actually just happened again last night.

has any one else heard of anything like this?

Are you sure you're pressing the off button and not the restart button?

Put a UPS system on it or turn off the BIOS option for restart after power off. Power may be surging (low not high). Also your battery may be getting a little low.
