So i went to bathroom to do washing up, after i was done i walked back to my room seing that my brothers room is pitch black and nothing is happening. I came out of my wardrobe and saw the pc turned on. House did not have any power shortages, pc (The pc that turned on) is made few months ago and hasnt done anything like this. I dont understand why would it start itself up by no reason. I have a picture from my room to my brothers. *UPDATE* OKAYY the pc when was powered on time was 20.12 it went black at 20.26 and IT JUST TURNED SCREEN ON, like if somebody moved mouse (i can see time on win10 lockscreen) . I need anwsers please.

its possible he put it on sleep/hibernate and it turned on from a wake timer, wake from lan, or to sync with hardware clock (ive had this happen before too)

All pc's on home were offline so noting about lan, and he does not have any wake timers.

He probably had it in sleep mode and the network card woke it up.

If you want to join a really cool Discord chatroom with some great guys here from LTT and outside this community then PM me!

The pc is a really new build. He got pc 2 or 3 months ago but case was delayed. He instaled case 1 month ago. So no worn out buttons avaiable.

He is away from home for 2 days, and it has never done it.
