Check the small cables that connect to your motherboard, and disable Wake-on-LAN and Wake-on-Call in your BIOS settings.

That happened to me once. I opened up my case and there were actually 1 inch tall gremlins in there gnawing on my cables and such. One of them must have pulled on the power button calbe or something. Anyways I called an exterminator and he told me he saw it all the time. In fact one time they pulled down an entire network in a major corperation. Well he fumigated my computer put up some gremlin traps around my office and havn't had a problem since

It doesn't happen that frequently, lately. At least not where I live.

That would be one of the problem right there, happens to me. You should check that or your PSU.
