It's usually when I have got IE8 open but unsure if it is connected to that.
What happens is that it crashes with the screen going blank (no error message) and I hear one of the fans in the case suddenly get louder. Checking the temps after a reboot shows no problems (CPU 47C, MB 34C CPU fan 3292rpm)
I have an ASUS M4N78 MB, Phenom 940 Black with 4 GB RAM and Sapphire 4850 512MB Graphics, 5 internal HDD (boot drive is new) and 4 external but it still happens if the external drives are off.
Running windows 7 64 bit. Have heard that Java 6 Version 17 (64 bit) installed and have read bits that it can cause problems.
Pretty sure it's not hardware related.
Has anyone else experience similar and resolved it?

It doesn't say 64bit in IW8 About ... so I assume it is 32 bit. Was surprised as I expected it to have been 64bit installed with the OS.

Interesting point - going to addons I see that a load of addons have been disabled - so now will re-enable and see which was causing the problem
Quote 1. Click Start, please type “inetcpl.cpl” (without quotation marks) in the Start Search bar and press Enter to open the Internet options window.
2. Switch to the Advanced tab.
3. Click the "Reset Internet Explorer Settings" button.
4. Click Reset to confirm the operation.
5. Click Close when the resetting process has finished.
6. Uncheck the "Enable third-party browser extensions" option in the Settings box.
7. Click Apply, click OK.
If the issue still occurs, please remove and installed toolbars.
If you still have the problem it might be worth raising it here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro
Edit - it was the Java plugin doing the damage

It's crashed around 3 times today - so far. Last two times I have not get any message when it's finished rebooting.
Usually there's a message window in the centre of the screen informing that a critical (or some such wording) occured. Clicking on an icon revelas more information including that it was a BSOD along with similar numbers you mention.
Next time it happens I'll check it out.
Wondering whether it's just the 64 bit version being unstable and whether to revert to 32 bit (beginning to miss XP a little now :D).
There doesn't, at this point in time, seem any major reason to pursue the 64bit line.

I still lose all website passwords previously entered (and, yes, I do have the option for W7 to remember them and also select the relevant boxes on the sites).
I don't always get a message detailing what happened but this is the result from the last time.
Quote Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 124
BCP1: 00000000
BCP2: 865208FC
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000000
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 768_1
A search for Google BCCode 124 leads to potential driver issues but I have installed all the lastest drivers for the MB and graphics I can find from the manufacturers' websites.
Could it be an issue with IE8? I hated it under XP where it would randomly choose to save any jpgs too previously used folders and I would have to keep reselcting the correct one again. This still happens on and off.
Even typing this is problematic as I cannot now see what I am typing. For some reason it will not allow me to scroll to the bottom of the box.
I am thinking of uninstalling IE8 and trying with IE7 - has anyone else done this under W7?
I have installed Firefox but have to admit I am so used to IE that it seems very alien.
I think, though, I will use it exclusively for a few days to see if I still get any crashes.
Meanwhile, if anyone has any other ideas I'd be grateful.

Can you cope with Bookmarks and "Favourites" being the same conceptual device?

The only problem I've encountered is crashing after coming out of "sleep mode", but with the speed of booting of W7 (compared with my installation of XP) I've stopped using it - just turn off the computer if I'm not going to use it for a while.

Quote Address a problem with NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller
NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller is not compatible with this version of Windows.
Could this have anything to do with my BSOD issue?
I've been to the nVidia website - performed their scan which has offered me a new driver (size 187MB). This is for the MB as the graphics is ATI.
Does anyone know how reliable updating this way is?
Edit: Now I am a little confused... Asus website states that my M4N78 uses nForce 720D (MCP78D) chipset and their latest download is version 15.37 for W7/Vists but dated back in June - it is this version that is installed.
The nVIDIA update is early Oct and version 15.49 but no mention of 720D in supported products (only 720a and 720i).

Quote from: Axisofevil Just use Firefox and stop wasting time with different versions of IE.
Can you cope with Bookmarks and "Favourites" being the same conceptual device?
When I installed Firefox I hadn't re-installed the Favourites into IE8.
Now I have them reset in IE8 how do I import them into Firefox?
Edit: Found it - All imported OK.
Edit 2: But can't find a way of keeping the Bookmarks open constantly as in IE8. Is there a way?
Edit 3: Found that as well
