Possible. You have to disable "wake from USB devices" in the BIOS.

EDIT: Alternatively, you can use Device Manager in Windows to accomplish the same thing (easy). Follow below steps;

1. Go to device manager
2. Expand the keyboard section
3. Right click on the keyboard driver & click properties
4. Go to the "Power Management" section
5. Untick the "Allow this device to wake the computer"

umm, you'd need to check on that first. buzzing sound from a PSU isn't something to ignore.

Well, you have to choose whether to power down, sleep, or hibernate.

Power down is self explanatory.
Sleep, as you have already discovered wakes the machine on one of several inputs.
Hibernate combines the two and only powers up when the power button is pressed, or, in the case of laptops, when the lid is opened (not on all models however, such as HP)

In Device Manager, you can deselect the Wake option for those devices

Here, the keyboard:

But do investigate that PSU.
