BSODs and XP Mode

[TechOutsider]

Just wondering if anyone else experienced BSODs trying to configure XP Mode. It was a brand new, clean installation of Windows 7 Build 7100 less than 10 minutes old.

Yep. I clean installed Win 7 x64 last weekend from Technet. Last night I downloaded the Virtual PC/Win XP Mode files also from Technet. Win XP opened as expected and all was good. Several hours later my system froze during no activity. I shutdown all power to the computer, rebooted and got a BSOD Stop error 0x109 about 3 minutes after the desktop was usable.

I haven't had a chance to work on it yet but that was the only change to the system.
