Just a suggestion, but I had this problem when I replaced a motherboard.
What happened was the old motherboard had an extra peg that the motherboard
sat on, but the new one didn't need it. I didn't notice until it started
turning itself on everytime a door banged. It was the pin making contact on
the bottom of the motherboard!!
Probably not what's causing your problem, but make sure nothing is touching
the board.
Cheers
