Computer reboots itself when phone rings

If I shut down my computer in the normal way but do not switch it off at the back (mains switch) if the phone rings it reboots itself up again.
Is there some means of stopping this happening so that I don't have to grovel around behind the base unit every time. I am sure to crick me neck very soon. Plus it's a waste of electricity.
