Doubt it.

That is to wake your computer up when it's completely turned off.
We've established here the PC is currently either in sleep mode, or it could be an overheating problem (even though you dont think it is mar)
Okay, a few more questions/ideas (that are reasonable).
1/ Do you have a wireless keyboard? Sometimes (especially on Belkin/Microsoft ones) when the batteries are running really low they tend to like to hit the "sleep" button by themselves. Don't ask me why.
2/ In your BIOS, check through the menu's and you should find settings regarding to CPU power off and temperature settings. Check the temperature they're set to and what they're set to do, ie sometimes you can select if you want it to beep or just power off. Also check in the BIOS the running temperature of the CPU and the RPM of the CPU fan (speed).
3/ What happens (when it is in standby mode) and you push the power button? It should theoretically, if it is in standby mode, power the computer back up from standby mode - if you have a "soft" power button (which i'm assuming you do). Don't hold it in like you do to force the computer to turn off, just push it in once.
