After I finish using my desktop and shut it down for the night, in the middle of the night it would turn itself back on for a few seconds and off again its rather annoying cause the room lights up randomly throughout the night and this happens more than once throughout the night.
System specs:
Intel i7 4790K
Evga gefore 770 declassified
MSI z97-g45 gaming mobo
16gb ram
evga psu

hardware is fine I believe this to be a software issue but I have not found an answer that worked.
 
Solution
Do you have it set to wake on mouse or keyboard activity? Do you have a cat who might be exploring your desk at night?

I checked and I never installed it... However I did read that MSI fast boot keeps the system in ram even when shut down that's uninstalled as well
