Laptop restarts by itself when on AC

    I've a new (to me) Dell E6410, noticed when running Linux (BT5R3) off a USB stick that Sleep didn't work properly, it would wake up again immediately.
    Put Vista onto a SSD on it today as a trial, updates,important drivers etc.

    When its plugged in to AC, hibernate or sleep will wake up again. If its on battery it will sleep OK.

    Looked in the BIOS settings, couldn't find anything that would make it do that.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: obviously, I can get around it by pulling out the lead before I hibernate/sleep, but i'd like to know why!
