    I move from room to room a lot with my T61p, and my main desk is equipped with an advanced mini dock. I'm often working in another room with my laptop plugged in, so I unplug my computer, which goes into battery mode, and I go to my desk and dock my laptop. About 1 in 4 times, my laptop immediately BSOD's. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Interesting... Have you check to make sure you have all of the latest drivers and software from Lenovo?

    What is plugged into your minidock?

    What is the component blamed on the BSOD? It will usually list a driver or DLL.

    I just did a full reinstall of Vista, so I'm certain that I have all the latest drivers. And the only things plugged into the dock is a mouse and an external hard drive, which is usually off. And does anyone know where I could get the BSOD log?

    Check in event viewer for BSOD log. You can also disable automatic restart after crash, letting you actually look at the BSOD before you reboot.

    Which category are BSOD's under? And the BSOD is so long that the top of it gets pushed out.
