Crashing daily (The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck)
So I've had Windows 7 Build 7000 32-bit installed over Vista Business w/SP1 since MS released it. I'm very pleased and happy with it's performance aside from two annoying things.
(1) I am not able to use Macdrive 7. The ONLY app I have that will no longer run or install. This is something I just have to accept until it's resolved.
(2) Windows 7 crashes and restarts on me, usually daily. Sometimes it's even been twice in a day.
For the first few days, it happened while I was sitting in front of it. It would throw up the BSOD, pointing to "nwifi.sys". Since then, I'm either asleep or just present at the time. I finally decided to look at the Event Log and see just what the hell is going on.
Here's the neccessary portion for those that might be able to help.

Does anyone have any input on this by chance? Help would be appreciated. I would love to get around this crashing. Thanks!
