Hey I know that one! Yea, it definitely is a pain in the neck, I got that a few times yesterday, plus a screen for startup repair that said I removed a hard drive/optical drive or something when I am repairing a standard image that had been working great before.
[BBC]Microsoft investigates Windows 7 'screen of death'

I have also recently experienced this using Windows XP. I assumed it was a damaged installation or driver problem but after reading this I can see it much more wider than just myself.
I had my laptop running XP and had spent a good two days doing college work for deadlines that week. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my backup external from home that week and when I booted up laptop on the wednesday the screen was black. My only option was to clean install Windows, this time I installed Windows 7. I lost everything for that week

W7 and XP? Any Vista instances of this?

None that I have experienced. My sig rig at home runs Vista mainly with Win 7 RC also. My family havn't reported anything from Vista so I can't vouch for that. As for the security update being the problem, I can agree with that. From my memory I performed the XP update and the following morning the black screen appeared.

Ever heard of taking out the hd and putting in another computer? Or getting a external enclosure? No way I would settle for that.
Also you could have just reinstalled and used a drive recovery program to get your stuff back. I have power data recovery and that can see 3 formats ago. As long as you don't write over the data it's there for awhile. In fact all your work is probably still there.

I'ts your 3870 paired with an i7 and a classified that's causing this error.

To solve the bug I go to CPanel->System and wait about 5 seconds, then it says it's genuine and I can close out of those windows. I have to do this every time I boot up. =\\ |
