I once investigated why a PC occasionally turned on all by itself and at first suspected that something on the network might be sending wake on LAN packets. It turned out that the PC was only in sleep mode and not hibernating and that Windows can wake it up from there, e.g. because of scheduled maintenance. What was even more surprising, it will go back to sleep once it is done.

You might want to check the event viewer in cases like that.

I don't run Windows. I believe I was running Ubuntu at the time this was a problem, possibly Debian. This was a few years back.
