Anyone know what is causing a computer to starting around midnight every
night by itself.

Hooked up to LAN or cable? Disable remote boot in BIOS.

Any chance you have something scheduled to work at that time? Maybe
windows automatic updates or Norton scanning?

I'd wonder if it wasn't just around midnight but exactly
12:00:00 by the computer clock, that it's set to come on at
that time by default in the bios but if it hadn't until
recently, the feature had been inadvertently enabled. Check
your bios settings.
