Hmm, you may be on to something, Chris. I pulled out the router plug from
the back of my computer, and the problem went away, that is, when I turned
the computer off it stayed off. Is the "network card" something I can get
at? Or should I take computer and router back to the place I bought it
(both are still under warranty.)

Hi.
Most likely your network card is set to "wake up on LAN activity"
But checking google -
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=computer+starts+itself&btnG=
Search&meta
brings up quite a few pages that could be of help hunting down the cause of
your problem.

My computer turns itself back on after I've turned it off. I usually have
to turn if off only once more, but sometimes three or four times. It's
clean of viruses. I suspect either the new memory card reader or the
router, but the vendor/installer cannot get the problem to present itself in
his shop. I unplugged the memory card reader in the back, but that didn't
stop the problem. I'm reluctant to unplug the router long enough to test; I
know so little about viruses. This seems like an invitation for infection.
How much trouble can I get into if I by-pass the router for a day, i.e., no
firewall-like hardware or software?
