    1 possibility, u put it to sleep, and after it slept, u pull a usb device on, then it went on again. Happens on my gf laptop everytime... Luckily, ur laptop might be quiet that u din even notice.

    Edit: U might be drunk, or ur just dreaming... lol

    it was me actually, i snuck into your house, but taking jewelry and money is so 1999, so i turned on your laptop to waste power and thus making you pay more money, which is just like getting robbed if you ask me

    Maybe wake on LAN is on or something like that. I know i gave similar issue on my desktop computor once, one day, when i turned it off, after 1 min it did started up, i did switch it off 3 times, then i just plugged out network cable, and it stoped, i asuemed that it was some hacker that was playing around.

    how about you closed the lid before it was turned off properly? that normally hibernates it instead of turning it off.
