Reboots - only at home

[frankiefiveangels]

I have an HP Omnibook 6100, running Win2000 Pro, that I use at work and at
home. On the docking station at work, the machine will run all day long with
no problems. But, when I use it at home with the AC adapter, it reboots at
random. I get a brief blue screen message, and then it restarts.

Suggestions, please?

Almost always a hardware issue. Look at the hardware/ drivers that are
enabled in the undocked hardware profile.

To be able to see the blue screen stop message; Control
Panel|System|Advanced|Startup and Recovery, I usually like to uncheck
"Automatically reboot" this way you get a chance to read the stop error.
