I'd be worried if there is something on his network sending out magic packets | |

check it's not something simple by shutting the computer down from the command line. | |

Its probably a setting in your BIOS to do with power management or could even be something like wake on LAN? | |

Without wanting to sound like a twat, you're not using restart by accident? e.g. On Vista what looks like the power button is standby on mine, might have changed to restart? | |

Surely it shouldn't turn back on though? | |
