Aurora ACT1250, turns on by just moving my mouse
I have set the power button action to shut off and sleep button to sleep iv tried changing my power settings(currently on balance). My pc will power on by just moving my mouse or by pressing anything on my keyboard. At first i thought i was going crazy thinking i kept leaving my pc on but after noticing it happen a couple times iv been trying to find a fix but i dont see anyone else having this issue.

PC was not off, merely sleeping. mouse or keyboard maneuver can wake it up.

@redxps630 I made sure to power compltey off. Unless me clicking on the power option and hitting shut down makes it only go into sleep mode?

if it were completely powered off, it could only be turned on by power button. USB mouse move can not power it on from cold.

Make sure nothing is set to hibernate. Only way mouse or keyboard can wake PC is if it's not shutting down completely and leaving the USB's turned on.
Are you using Windows to turn it off and not another method? My power buttons are set to sleep. No issues with incidental power-ons.
Go into BIOS Power Management settings. Disable Wake on Lan and disable power on when power is introduced. I've had PC's power on by themselves when power on when power is introduced is turned on.*
Make sure no alarms are set to turn on PC whether it be in BIOS or Windows.* *There is always the possibility that the PC is coming alive by itself, then goes to sleep per time set for it. Then later when you move mouse, it turns on the PC.
