Windows 10: Computer keeps turning on by itself -- and changing the time

I recently built my own computer, and it keeps turning on by itself, which is weird enough. I've tried all the solutions I could find online -- the motherboard bios, the wake timers, the fast startup, the scheduled updates, pretty much everything, and nothing's solved it.


Basically, my computer will turn on randomly, and, when it does, the clock on the computer will be changed. As far as I can tell, the time it is set to is random. Anyone ever encountered this issue?

:)

 

Date and Time Year is 3015 and can't change to 2015.
