Have you checked the bios there is an option for wake on Lan or
modem ??!!

If this is on the comp may start up when a modem or lan card contacts it !!

Yep, happened to me, it's quite worrying I can tell you, couldn't understand why my PC was on when I came home from work most days !!

As whiteghost says, it's the wake up LAN setting in BIOS.

This problem won't affect the Argies though as they'll be at home to answer their phones !!!
