Ok so I built my computer about 2 weeks ago and everything works fine.

I noticed today that my computer randomly started today, without me touching the keyboard, computer and mouse, even if it was shut down. 

I'm using windows 10, I have a Razer Chroma keyboard connected to it and my mouse wasnt connected. 

Do you guys have an idea why would it start by itself???

Open up a command prompt and type in "powercfg -lastwake" --- what does it show?

Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
  Wake Source Count - 0

 

 

OK give this a go:

 

Open up a command prompt again, type in "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed". This should produce a list of devices that are allowed to wake the computer from sleep. From that list you should be able to go into Device manager > right-click the device > power managment tab > uncheck the "allow device to wake computer" box.

Its worth a quick check to see if any task/program is waking your computer by typing in "powercfg -waketimers".
