Hey everyone,
I currently own a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop, It came with Windows Vista Business Edition 32 bits and 1 GB RAM. I recently upgraded my RAM to 4gb and decided to move to Windows 7 RC build 7100 64 bits (Had to do a clean install) . I've been getting several BSODs or the screen would just turn black and the system would stop responding.
The most common errors that I'm getting is:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. -- I get this daily, if not every few hours.

I was also getting this as warning in event viewer:
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller: The network link is down. Check to make sure the network cable is properly connected.
--- And I decided to disable it in device manager.
