The first part sounds like the computer is set to "wake on power" this would be a setting you can change in the BIOS/UFEI.

The shutting down could be in power options to go into standby/hibernation after X minutes (and some computers do not like going into/out of these modes) which is why you see a blank screen and no reaction to a keyboard/mouse/power button. I'd set it to always on and see if this fixes it.
