    after shutdown. Some times clicking shutdown is pretty much the restart button and other times it will restart a few mins after shutdown. Any ideas? I havent messed with anything other than installing new gpu drivers and internet hook up.

    Is your laptop have an internet cable plugged in? That will turn it back on and I at one point thought my laptop was possessed.

    I don't understand it myself but, I can plug in the internet cable on my laptop while it's off and it will turn itself on. Strange thing. Just remember to unplug it and I'm sure you'll never have that problem again. :D
