I installed Windows 7 (64bit) on my media centre PC. The motherboard is an Abit AN-M2HD, with pretty much everything integrated.

Installation went well and windows installed drivers of its own (including for the integrated nvidia 7050PV and nforce 630a) but during normal use (browsing and copying files) it crashes and restarts.

I guess it could be a drivers issue. Looking at the Abit website, they dont list any drivers for Windows 7, but should I download and install their latest Vista 64bit drivers for my chipset, etc?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Other specifications of my PC;

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+
Memory: 2GB - Corsair Value Select (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C5 Dual Channel
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
 
Thanks for the reply.

I think my work firewall isn't digging the ftp links on the abit site.

Gone to the nvidia site instead. Drivers are much newer and actually for Windows 7 :>
 
I only installed chipset and gfx along with anything else that W7 didn't install. Some manufacturers don't have W7 drivers yet so you have to use the vista equivalent.

If software crashes due to incompatibility, right click on the exe and run troubleshoot compatibility and it will more than likley run it in an XP SP3 environment.
