Why is the computer "turn on" everyday by itself?

If this isn't a laptop, check your building's wiring. Is it grounded properly? Do you have a ups?

Hello cwtnospam -

Sorry for this late answer…

Now, no it isn't a laptop, it's a Mac Pro (Intel).
Yes, it's "plugged" on an UPC(S) 650 battery.
But I checked the connections, and they all appear to be OK (well plugged).

Any other trick(s), advice(s)?

Thank you for any suggestion…
Have a good day.

- Dimitri

When you next shutdown your computer, also unplug all peripherals and disconnect the computer from all networks.

Does the computer still restart?

Get a circuit tester. The kind you plug into the outlet and it tells you if your wiring is correct (no ground, reversed hot/neutral, etc.)
