I got some weird behavior when I did a clean install of Windows 7 RC and the latest version of Firefox. I had no problem browsing the internet, but when I tried to download a file (I tried different sources/files) - it would blue screen. This would happen only in Firefox - downloads in Internet Explorer would not cause a blue screen. Installing all available Windows Updates and the latest driver from Nvidia fixed the problem.

I had been running Windows 7 Beta on this computer before this and have not had the error.

Computer Specs:

[li]Asus P5B Plus[/li]
[li]Intel Core2 E6420[/li]
[li]8 GB RAM[/li]
[li]Nvidia 8600 GT 256MB[/li]

Unfortunately I did not write it down and as I mentioned in my original post I have not experienced it since running Windows Update and installing the latest Nvidia drivers.

The purpose of the post was to see if someone else had experienced a similar problem.
