Barb,
    I recently had a customer who had a similiar problem. Her computer would
start all by itself.
I used an Asus motherboard that had the power on feature from both the
keyboard and the mouse.
Any vibration or movement would start the computer. I disabled both
functions and have not had the problem since. If you have a motherboard with
these features that is where I would start. If not then maybe an exorcism is
in the near future..
