BSODs driving me batty!
Hi! I did a search on the forum and didn't see any solutions to this, so I'll run it by you all.
I just got a new computer pre-installed with Vista, which I brought home and immediately installed Win 7 RC. Everything is running fine except I get at least one BSOD a day, and I can't even narrow it down to what I'm doing, because it happens even when I'm idle.
Computer is an HP Pavilion, 64-bit AMD Phenom X3 8550 Triple-Core, 4GB memory. It didn't come with a wireless card so I'm using a Linksys Wireless G USB adapter.
Is there anything about this configuration that is problematic with 7?
I tried to access my Windows\Minidump files but it's locked and I apparently don't have permission, although I'm an administrator, so not sure what's up with that. Here's some info I gleaned from the Windows recovery screen that comes up after I boot;

If I try to access that WER-37502-0.sysdata.xml file it just opens in IE and tells me I suck.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm otherwise liking 7 and want to love it, but these BSODs are making that difficult...
Thanks!
