Thanks, I was going to go back and look for this post because I figured out what is turning it on. Believe it or not, it is the monitor. I thought I heard a sound coming from the back up battery but then decided it was coming from the monitor so I started un-plugging the power from it after I use it. The hard drive hasn't come on once in over two weeks. It used to come on at least every other night. Sometimes even tho I turned the monitor off at the switch and then unplugged the power, when I plug the power cord back in the light comes on on the monitor. I guess it is possessed! Better the monitor than the hard drive.

I'm glad you found the problem.
I would continue to "monitor" the situation just in case. >.< :P

Rose, it sounds like your computer is not turning off, but rather going into "sleep" mode.
Check your settings in your bios and see what is selected.
There are usually options to turn on by network activity, mouse, keyboard, etc.
I don't think it is posessed... If it were, your printer would be sending you messages to read when you woke up....
(devil)
