Crashing Win7

Has anyone had any problems with Win7?

I've bought a dedicated Astros pc. It's small and fits neatly on my pier and talks happily via wifi to the big computer inside in the warmth.

I had a few drop outs yesterday and thought it was the wifi. Turns out the pc has been crashing - repeatedly. Midway through a Maxpoint run it simply restarted itself - 3 times in half an hour. I thought, must be Maxpoint - newly installed at the weekend. Then it crashed during a FocusMax calibration run. Add to that it dumped the connection with my QSI - once telling me the camera had malfunctioned. That was another 2 restarts.

So have I overloaded the pc or is it a Win7 thing?

Any suggestions appreciated. The family could do with less colorful language from me!

Pete
