Laptop restarts at another house

When I take my Toshiba Satellite M35X laptop to a friends house it restarts and shows the BSOD and then I think I can get to the desktop.

It's happened two different times I've taken it there. When I bring it home it starts up normally.

The only thing I can figure is the wifi connection at his place.

Does that make any sense?

Could also be his power isn't as clean as yours and it has black or brownouts.

Use the battery at your house, reproduce it. Windows xp with corrupted power management software or bad settings from 3rd party(mfg oem)power management software

Was using battery at both places.

Went back to his house and it did it again.

Walked down the hall away from his router and didn't have a problem. No problem on first floor either.
