bad_pool_header on win 7

[MusicalChris]

Hi Guys, since i have been using windows 7 RC and now the RTM my PC crashes and get a bad_pool_header blue screen then pc restarts but will be fine after it reboots, then a couple of days later it happens again.

I have reformatted windows today and it comes up so i would think it was a hardware issue but not sure where. Some people say the PSU some say ram.

my pc is about 4 years old and the PSU and ram are the originals from the build.

Any ideas what this could be as when i had windows xp installed i never got this, don't know whether it is coincidence or not.

Cheers.

Chris.

most of the drivers are windows default or found from windows update, the only drivers i install are my gfx card drivers for my 4850 and i install the latest version 9.7 for windows 7.

Other than that there is not much else only software installs.
