This is a long shot and I only mention it because StainlessS has been unable to reproduce your crash.

I wonder if you have bad RAM on your W7 system. It sounds a lot like errors I have had with almost stable overclocked RAM. A lot of things work but some tasks always crash. This is different to the totally random crashes that can also happen when over clocking. Sometimes the error is so specific it doesn't show itself unless you do something very specific.

Now I know you probably are not overclocking anything but I have also had these problems, albeit rarely, with a bad stick of RAM. It would usually work but a specific task would kill it (usually a particular video game in my case).

Try a good ram test or the most aggressive test IMO; a good 24h of prime95 in "blend" test mode, if you want to check.
