    I have a problem with RMClock undervolting Turion X2 and randomly crashing on Windows 7. It runs just fine with even lower voltages at XP64 but in W7 it gives me blue screens every now and then (I am guessing at multiplier changes).

    Here's some minidumps

    The Windows 7 kernel (which is what sits between RMclock and the CPU) is incompatible with its commands causing it to crash.

    Try running it in compatibility mode and raising the voltage.
