Ahh.

Every single time I switch my PC off, it will come back on automatically after about 5-10 minutes.

So I plug it out at the back instead, which is annoying, because my back hurts when I bend down to do it.

Is there a way to fix this?

It sounds like a PSU problem...That's a really weird problem

How old is your PSU?

And if you restart instead of turning the pc off?

Lol, sorry but, what is a PSU rofl.

[frozenrat]

Power Supply Unit.
Just tell me how old the PC itself is

it's a BIOS issue,
to change the bios settings
You typically enter BIOS by restarting your computer and immediately pressing the Delete key repeatedly until you enter the BIOS Utility Screen (usually in blue). The fix is fairly easy.

1. Once in BIOS, go to Power Options (refer to the owner's manual if you do not know where it is).

2. Scroll down to Wake On LAN and/or Wake On Ring and change them to Disable. This will prevent Scroll down to Wake on LAN and / or Wake on Ring and Change them to DISABLE
This will prevent the computer from being able to come out of its power down mode whenever the phone rings or if LAN activity occurs (ie: you have another computer in the house on a network and someone logs on to the network from there).

Press F10 and choose YES to save settings and exit. Your system restarts and the problem should be fixed.

NOTE: USE EXTREME CAUTION in BIOS. Changing the incorrect settings may cause your computer to not be able to reboot or operate.

No, That brings it out of Power Save (Hibernate) mode.

Not actual shutdown.

It's probably the PSU, or your house is haunted.

MAN. I think you're right.

My dad told me to change them once for some strange reason. Forgot to set it back.

Thanks, + rep if RZ allowed it (Y)

He should consider the last one.

Glad your problem is solved, Mark.
