Turn off the setting that's like "The LAN is allowed to switch on my PC" in the BIOS.

Sorry I can't remember exactly what it's called.

Normally fixes problems like this.

Hope this helps

 

EDIT: It's "Wake on LAN" or something similar

You can also disable wake on lan via windows. I would enable EnP in the bios if your mobo supports it. That will prevent anything such as mouse or keyboard input from starting the computer up too. I used to set my PC to sleep overnight and found almost every other morning my PC would be on when I woke up. I decided to setup a camera to document when it would wake up and I found it was because my cat would jump onto my desk and sit on my keyboard in the middle of the night. So I enabled EnP and external input doesnt wake my computer. Something else to consider.
