There are several reasons why a computer may seemingly turn on "by itself":
* There may be an automatic wakeup time set in the BIOS. * The BIOS may be set to turn the computer on automatically if it detects a power outage (even a minor power fluctuation can set this off) * You may have sent Windows XP into standby mode. In this mode, the computer powers almost everything down, maintaining only enough power to keep the contents of RAM present. When you bump the mouse or keyboard, it will bring the computer out of standby mode.

Why wont my computer turn on after clicking the power button just once?
We reinstalled Windows 7. We also updated all the drivers and the BIOS.

We end up pressing the power button 5-10x for it to start. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
