Desktop turns on after turning on my laptop

Okay, uh... I don't really know how to explain this. I know this sounds a bit crazy and odd, but basically:

 

My main desktop system automatically turns on whenever I turn on my laptop (both laptop and desktop are used in the same room).

I don't know why it is doing this, I can only speculate that it might be some sort of frequency that the motherboard catches and sends voltage to the system to turn itself on or something? 

It's super annoying I turn on my laptop from across the room, in my bed and then the system turns on; so I would have to get up and physically push the power button for it to turn off.

 

It only does this during me powering on my laptop.

 

My laptop is: Republic of Gamers - GL502V

 

Does anyone else know how to prevent this from happening? 

...and no, my motherboard is not wireless with any remote-start capabilities.

Your laptop is sending a magic packet to wake up your desktop.

Turn off wake on lan in bios.

It's not a race to the bottom.

Probably wol(wake-on-lan) is turned on like others said.

If you want to test this. 

- disconnect desktop from network. 

- turn on laptop 

- if desktop still turns on call an exorcist
