  If WHS (with PP3) is off, I have no crashes.
  If WHS is on, I use it to host/serve my Recorded TV.  When I enter Media Center on W7 x64 RTM and select Recorded TV, the list starts to get populated but before it's done I get the dialog box "Windows Media Center has stopped working."  Thereafter, any time I re-enter WMC it immediately gives me the error dialog. 
  I ran the WHS Tookit 1.1 troubleshooter and the only error I got back was that the connector software didn't match, but I suppose that's because I'm using PP3, since I did a reinstall of the connector from the server just to be sure and wound up with the same results and same error message when re-running the toolkit.
  
  I have no tuners installed and this is a brand new install of the OS on the client machine.  I have rebooted WHS several times and checked for updates, etc.  WHS doesn't appear to have a negative event after the crash on the client. 
  
  In Event Viewer on the client machine, I get this:

  You should try uninstalling PP3 beta from your server.  If it works afterwards, please file a bug report on Connect.
