Hello everyone 
i've been having some real issues with installing bootcamp'ed windows 7 on the late 2008 unibody macbook pro,
It's worked fine before with pretty much the same setup, but since a hard drive failure, im doing a clean install and the install works fine, but after 10-30 mins, the computer will freeze and it won't recover, and it's blue screened a couple of times as well
Im using:
Macbook pro late 2008, new install 4gb ram + hard drive (no problems with that so far, osx works fine as well)
Fully updated Win 7 Professional 32 bit
Bootcamp 4.0 drivers (installed over 3.0)
RM Clock (to underclock)
Lubbos fan control (i quit this as soon as the fans are running high)
Riva tuner (a fix i read, has made no difference)
macdrive 8
installed latest realtek high definition audio drivers.
here are the crash reports from whocrashed

there's about 6 and they're all the same
ps, im using 32 bit, because rmclock won't run under 64 bit. is there an underclocking program that will? maybe the problem won't occur under 64bit windows + drivers?
any ideas would be much appreciated, you beautiful people you
