I am running Windows 7 Rc on a new PC which I built up as a media centre. Whilst I can say it looks great I am experiencing several blue screen crashes per day and sometimes the Pc will freeze and force a reset. This is a new install of windows 7 as previously it got so bad I reformatted and started again. In my event log I get the following critical errors occuring randomly I cannot establish a pattern but suspect it may be a problem with IE8. wondering if anybody else is getting similar issues, I cant wait for the official release and hopefully a service pack to address some of the stability issues. At the momnet it is like the early days of Vista nightmare revisited. I am starting to think about uninstalling programs starting with the Windows Live program suite but the problem is so random its hard to pin down.

I have been having this same problem on the RTM and earlier releases :( What kind of a video card are you running by chance? I have a ATI 4870 and am seeing a lot of other people with ATI cards having this same problem.
