    Its possible it might be os related in the sense that freebsd does
    something different with the state of the machine on a reboot. The
    thing is it works fine for everyone else. Have you checked for a cmos
    update on compaq's site? Could be a bug in the bios code that windows
    and linux don't trigger.
