A few days last week, I arrived home from work, and my 360 was on. I definitely remember turning it off the night before. Just a few minutes ago, I went out to the TV room, and my 360 was on. I hadn't turned it on at all, and I definitely turned it off last night before bed.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Edit: More info about my setup:
My 360 is plugged into a power strip along with my TV and router. It is connected to my router with an ethernet cable. I have the wired Rock Band guitar and a USB keyboard plugged in currently. (I'll try unplugging the keyboard and see whether that makes any difference)

I'm thinking pretty much this:
I thought of this too, but as far as I know the 360 has no such feature. Unless it's an undocumented one from a dashboard update with no option to enable/disable?
Anyway, chalk up another vote for neighbors' devices and/or possession.

So one of these days I'll get home from work and my key won't work or something?
OooooOOOOooOOooOOOOO
I never asked for this!
Although, I wonder to this day if I've got a secret clan of gaming gnomes living somewhere in the walls.
Is it turning you on...

Also, I also would vote that apartment living is the problem. Every other day, I can't connect my Wii to my wireless router simply because jackholes living around me have their own interference thang happening.

That button turns on the Xbox.

Well that isn't as much fixing the problem as just... hmm... not fixing it. If you have children, spouse, pets, I would slowly remove them one-at-a-time from your house until the problem is solved.

Or you can take the common PC troubleshooting approach - remove everyone/thing, and put them back in until you can replicate the anomaly.

With my infinite knowledge of the PC, troubleshooting would be resetting your household and then blowing into the vents with the possible inclusion of dancing in a circle.

However with your 360 I reckon it's just neighbours. Or possibly a faulty controller. When you play the middle button doesn't push itself occasionally does it?

This happened to my friend, and this is exactly the advice we gave him too.

Just make sure you set your auto-off setting to On and then if it turns itself on and goes unnoticed for six hours it'll turn itself off again. And maybe leaflet all the flats in the area 'Do you have a 360? Mine keeps turning itself on randomly. Let me know.'
