The computer I am writing this on had to get a new hard drive back in September when it got hijacked by a botnet. It was doing much the same kind of thing you’re talking about here with turning on but not having the monitor on and etc. If we disconnected it from the net it would not turn on at all, but if it was connected it would turn on about 20 minutes after we’d turn it off.
Now we unplug the machine from the router when we’re not going to use it for a while.

Thanks Megan- that’s a good suggestion- I’ll try that and see if it still happens- if not then I’ve got the answer likely-

This is why I run rollbackRX- I can do a revert to a time before any malware or virus or whatever happens-
