hey guys i have had this problem but just lived with it.

my mouse turns on when i move it. just have to slide it across the table any my computer boots. i know it's suppose to do that when the computer is sleeping or hibernating. but my computer is completely turned off. i have changed my power button to shut down in vista. so the computer is completely off and still it boots when i just move the mouse or even the table a little bit....going to the bathroom at night and bumps the table, when i come back the computer is on and i have to wait to startup so i can turn it off.

any idea on what settings to change to fix it. i have tried to unchecked the wake up computer box.
 
There will be a setting in the BIOS pertaining to this, look there. I'm can't remember what it's actually called.
 
Disable ACPI S5 (wake on USB). According to your manual only ports 3 and 4 (closest to audio jacks) do this. So if you have trouble with the BIOS setting simply don't use those ports.
