That particular PC dual-boots windows and Linux.

When the PC is either fully off or hibernates under Linux, it never ever turns on on its own. Wake on LAN and bios timers are all disabled.

I've already complained about this on some other thread, and a poster talked about some kind of timer that windows activates. I think there's some merit to that because it always turns on at night, I don't remember it turning on during the day.

I never went looking for details, since this is only a gaming PC, so it's not that much of a hassle to just turn it off. I'm not confident that an update won't reverse the change.
