PC started to turn on by itself after shutting down?!?

[Signis]

For some reason my PC sometimes turns itself on after 5-10 seconds when i click shutdown. I have windows10 64bit. I tried resetting cmos on motherboard.. I have wakeup timers disabled, wakeup on lan,keyboard,mouse disabled, i even have Erp enabled, what do you think is causing my pc to turn on by itself? Cables are fine too!

Maybe an electrical short? Earth/grounding issue?
Maybe the power button is under pressure by some other part on the case?

I have seen this kind of thing happen on laptops by simply touching them :)

The physical parts are fine.. button is alright.. i double checked the cables too.. disabled any sort of wake up setting on windows as well as bios.. driving me nuts! maybe it was the bios update i made a few weeks ago, but even when i return to old bios version, the problem persists! i had a faulty gpu card (driver crashes), but i removed it and sent to warranty , highly doubt it would damage any parts..

Could be a grounding problem, something triggering the switch circuit to light up.

Is the case metal or plastic?

also, it doesnt turn on by itself after 10seconds, its either within 10secs or never.. weird stuff

case is plastic, forgot to mention

Check BIOS again for "Loss of Power" which should be changed to "Stay Off" for such option.

When you turn your PC off for the day, switch off the PSU main switch on the PSU box.

Or get a Surge Protection that can sit under your Display; like this one for example:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000512E1
There are other cheaper ones with similar style.
Plug your main devices into that, then they can all stay powered on.
When you shutdown your PC, after it does it's power off cycle, then u can just switch off the main power switches from the surge protector, which will be right near/in-front of your regardless of where your PC Tower or other devices are. Very good to have.

powercfg says windows has no wakeup history and i already use a surge protector and loss of power is stay off.. any idea how to engage dual bios on a gigabyte h97m d3h? stupid manual doesnt say.. also i tried holding power till shut off and pressed it again but no success to fire up dual bios recovery..

I generally hit all Fn keys between F1 and F4 if in doubt :) I should make a hardware device :)

Try F1 or F2.

Recover a Gigabyte board by forcing it to take the backup BIOS and copy that over to the main BIOS should u have issues:

Hey signis , I have the same mb and had the same problems as you..... I'm running the f7 bios by the way...
What worked for me was having wake on lan off
haven't had my pc wake in months........

[Signis]

wake up lan is off... i had no problem in f6 bios, it started at f7, but when i returned to f6 it still happened.. for some reason it happens less now.. i dunno.. thx for all answers

Does it FULLY turn back on? or is it just the fans that turn on?
Some motherboards have features that will leave or turn the fans on for a few moments after the PC shuts down to cool things down quicker.

tried defaulting the BIOS?

[_I_]

some boards also have usb charging enabled while the pc is off

[Signis]

yeah it fully turns on, not just fans. Also, ErP is enabled so no usb or anything is online while turned off.. I guess its some sort of hardware malfunction, i'll call warranty if it gets too bad, doesn't always happen.
