It has happen… I have been exposed to the blue screen of death in Windows 7.   The error I got was for MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.  I did some research and there appears to be no resolution for the error.  Windows KB has nothing related to Win7.  They have some updates on fixing the error for win xp sp2.  I was shocked when I got the BSOD screen.  This is the first time I was seeing it.  I am back Windows Vista today. Since both my 64 bit versions of Win7 or Vista 64 won’t boot.

Further Investigation:  I realized that Vista 64 wasn’t booting either. So maybe it really was a memory issue.  I am running 2×2GB sticks and 2×1GB sticks. The 2×1GB might be causing an issue. Vista 32 has been up for now 1 hour, only uses the first 4GB due to 32 bit memory restriction. I will continue to monitor it throughout the day.  I am so glad I didn’t wipe my Vista 32 version. I will update this article once I find out more information.  I also emailed Microsoft for some answers.

Update: 11/10/09 – 4:12 PM CST
Vista 32 bit remained running for about 15 mins after I posted the original post.  It crashed while I ran a divx video.  I came to conclusion that the blue screen was warranted.  I received it on all three OSs (vista 32, vista 64 and win 7 64).  The computer now has been up for 3 hours. It has been working fine. I was able to watch divx video and burn a cd.  The problem appeared to be OCZ PC2 6400 ram I had installed.  It was installed for about 3 weeks without any issues.   Memory Test was taking to long so not sure if it has gone bad.

Recap
Problem: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSOD error in Windows 7
Solution: Check your memory it is possible that it may gone bad.  Try running Memtest if you suspect there is nothing wrong with the memory.

I had the problem again, and have realized that the case is keeping all the heat inside, which making it impossible for it to cool. I upgraded the fan to the 12V and removed the top covering permanently. I have no intentions of putting it back on. It is running 100x more cooler now with the 12V fan and the case open.

The OS looks slick and finally looks ready to compete with Palm, iPhone and Nokia. The best part is they finally got rid of the keyboard that was impossible to type with without a stylus.
The new UI looks slick and user friendly. WM6.5 will also have MyPhone online feature where you can organize your contacts/calendar etc, similar to Apple’s MobileMe.

I experienced my first Windows 7 freeze. I downloaded IM client Digsby (great Adium alternative for windows) with Firefox and while it was installing Firefox got not responding. I was unable to end task through task manager. Instead when I accessed task manager W7 all together froze. Had to do a force quit and restart.

Stay tuned for more posts on Windows 7 beta reviews, All month long.

Windows 7 task-bar has a similar feel to Mac’s icon dock. The Window’s task bar has only the icon displayed now. If the application is running the icon will be embossed look to it.
