Windows 2000 hangs on boot

I have 15 Dell Latitude X200's at work. All of them hang
on the color Windows boot up splash screen. The weird
thing is they hang intermittently, they all hang at the
same spot (about 2/3 of the way through boot up), and the
kicker is they only hang when they are undocked. I have
looked at the boot log when it is successful, and when it
hangs. The only difference is when it hangs "kmixer.sys"
loads once. When it is successful, it loads twice.
I have installed the latest BIOS, and the latest chipset,
audio, and video drivers from Dell. SP4 didn't help either.
Does anyone have any ideas for me?
