So, my PC been randomly shutting down and turning on by itself lately. I've fixed the random shutdown by changing what power button do in control panel by changing it to "do nothing" instead of shutdown, but this doesnt help my pc randomly turning on by itself when im sleeping.. I have no idea of my mobo power switch is faulty or the case. I dont have any spare parts to test this

It could be the headers on your motherboard that hook up to your power and reset buttons.

Does your motherboard have a power button on it? If so, unhook the power and reset buttons from the motherboard and see what that does.

Outside of that, it's may be the PSU or a software issue that's causing the problem.

Out of curiosity, do you have Windows 10? It performs automatic updates and will restart your computer when you're not on it, by default.
