Problem with 1190?

[jeffweiss9]

   I seem to be having a number of problems with PI-windows-x86_64-01.08.04.1190-20151112-c., newly loaded on my Win7 64b machine.  The last of which was that it just spontaneously rebooted my machine while trying to use it with lots of icons on the workspace!!  Prior to that, I had two LRGB Combination operations to create RGB's that, when I examined the components after the images came out quite strange, had identical components (R and G in one case, G and B in the other case).  It didn't occur a third time, but I've  never made that kind of cockpit error before, much less twice in one session.  It seems to me that 1190 has some problems with Win64 also.  I don't see other people reporting problems with it here but I went back to v1123, which is still posted on the distribution site and, so far, haven't had further problems.

P.S. I was working on a large project that had been created in my previous version 1.08.03.1123 Ripley (x64), if that has any relevance.

It is impossible that an application crashes a modern operative system (even Windows). The problem must be somewhere else: hardware failure (bad memory, graphics card, ...) or buggy driver.

Ok, I'll try again with 1190, after I finish the current project.  I've never had Win7 spontaneously reboot before.

I Jeff, it use to happen to me and the problem was in one of the ram memories.

Thanks, Alejandro-
Win7 doesn't even come with a memory checker but I think the system does that when it was rebooted, so one of the chips must be flakey, or maybe it just got hit by a cosmic ray.  There are plenty of those.
Cheers,

hi jeff, the memory test in the bios is really weak. you can download MemTest86 and burn it to a CD and boot the machine from that CD (or probably write it to and boot from a USB thumb drive) and really beat the heck out of the memory system:
