pc turns itself on!

Just bought a new Fry's pc, after turning it off it turns itself back on in
a few minutes! If anyone could help with how to fix the problem I'd most
appreciate the help.

Check your BIOS settings (directions for "how to" should be in the system
manual). Look for "wake" settings that are enabled and disable them.
Examples of what you might find: Wake on Ring, Wake on RTC, Wake on LAN.

If no Wake settings were enabled, contact tech support for the system. You
may have an electrical problem within the system, perhaps a faulty on/off
switch.

Thanks, it WAS in the BIOS! I disabled the setting through tech support and
now it's fine.

I think your PC is self possessed! You should contact your
local preacher and have an exorcism.
It worked for me!

You're welcome, David. Am glad to hear that it was a setting on that new
computer instead of the alternative. Enjoy!
