My System
Windows Version:7 64-bit
RAM:12gb
Processor:Intel i7 3.07GHz
Video Card:Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Sound Card:Realtek HD Audio Manager Drv ver - 6.0.1.6077

Vegas pro 11
1. Stops responding,
2. crashes and closes,
3. and the biggie "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"
This happens randomly with no warning.
Seems to happen when playing with effects
BUT have had BLUE SCREEN just previewing a video clip. !!!!
Some failure reports have been sent to Sony before the program terminated itself, but haven't heard back from them.

Usually in Win 7 if a program crashes you will not get a BSoD unless there is a hardware problem. Vegas 11 may be pushing either your memory, video card, processor or power supply to new limits, especially their power requirements. If you just upgraded your video card, you may need to upgrade your power supply.

Also, you may want to run a temperature monitor program for your CPU & GPU. If the thermal paste was not applied correctly the processor will overheat and cause a BSoD.

That's all I can suggest from the info provided but my gut tells me it is hardware related even if other programs behave normally...
