Do you mean a shut down, not a Switch off?
If so it looks like a shut down has been scheduled. Have a look at the Task Scheduler.

Hi All
I have a Vista Home Basic PC which switches itself on (from full power off not hibernation or sleep) at 20:00 every night. Any ideas on how to stop this?
Many thanks
