In a word, yes. More specifically, Windows may tell it to restart if it has downloaded and installed updates. If the operating system crashes, the system may also restart itself.

Also, many computers have a feature called "Wake On Lan" (WoL) built into their network card. This is primarily useful for systems acting as a server. The system can be set to power down (either completely, or into a low-power "sleep" state), then it will "wake" up back to full running state when it receives a network packet intended for it. That is, the network LAN card will wake up the system when it receives network traffic for it to process.
