Nah...that's not much...that's a FRACTION of what users would use on a daily base.Those are actually the base products we would put in for the base image.If the OS is not stable enough with these base products...then Windows 7 really needs to work harder to make it stable.SysAdmin

Might I suggest you turn off auto-rebooting so you can see what driver or program is causing the issue? (report back on the contents of the BSOD screen). It may be as simple as the video driver or other hardware driver added...

Jrjr2u,thanks.I've made the changes to the registry and I will monitor it next day or two and see how it goes.SysAdmin

LightningSystems,Actually, there was no BSOD screen. It just all of a sudden rebooted...then the screen comes up that the PC was not shutdown properly then you have the option to start windows in safe mode or normal mode and so on.This was the same PC box used for making base images for Windows XP and Vista and they had no problem whatsoever.The box has the following:Motherboard: Asus P5SD2-XVideo Cards: MSI NX6200TCModem: Aopen 56k FMRAM: 2GB (Kingston brand)By the way, Windows 7 BETA does not pickup the sound in this box...but Windows XP and Vista does.SysAdmin

If not a BSOd, this is most likely power management. Make sure your BIOS and chipset driversare the latest offered by your manufacturers. if still having issues, temporarily disable all the power management functionality via the Control Panel and see fi the issue continues to happen (it may be trying to sleep/hibernate and running into power issues that cause it to instead restart).Ned Pyle [MSFT] - MS Enterprise Platforms Support - Beta Team

Check your Event Viewer...Windows Logs...Application log file and the System log file for messages around the time of the reboots. - John
