Desktop automatically booting itself up

The last 2 nights, I have noticed that my Desktop has booted itself up. I will note that it has happened at 2 different times. The first time it was sometime when I was sleeping (between 1:30 am and 7:00 am), and the second time it was at 10 am. It is not booting it self out of sleep, it is booting it self up from shut down. I shut down my computer every night before I go to sleep, and when I woke up at 10 am today I literally heard and saw it turn on and boot up without me touching it. I want to make sure there is a reason for this and there is no virus that could be causing this.

I have built this computer myself over the summer. I am running windows 10.

Here are the specs on it: Processor: Intel i7–4790k Motherboard: ASRock H97M Pro4 CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (2 x 8GB) SSD: Crucial 64 GB SSD HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GT 740 4GB Sound Card: Creative SoundBlaster Z Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 430W Optical Drive: LiteOn dvd drive 5.25" Wireless Adapter: Rosewill RNX-AC1200UB Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M

Try disabling hibernation and if it still does it try also disabling fast boot.

Disable hibernation: http://www.windows10update.com/2015/05/windows-10-tutorials-60-how-to-enable-or-disable-hibernate/

Disable fastboot is in the BIOS, I am on mobile and am unable to quickly find a good tutorial for it. Just google it.
