Windows 7 rc error event id 6008

Question

Hey ppl, I've notice people on this forum with similar problems but not exactly the same as mine... I've been using win 7 RC x86 for the past month and it worked great. About 4 days ago it started randomly crashing but with no blue screen of death. It crashed like someone pulled the plug on the machine so my monitor shows a black screen getting no video input however my power light on my pc stays on... After it happened 3 times in one day i did a clean install... It worked great for a day and then happened again... It happens at random time intervals and except for one time, while i am not using the pc... It is getting really annoying now, I will prob try another clean install but it may just happen the same way again... I tried the memory test and it returned with no problems... And I did not install much applications since the last time i re installed... just office, photoshop and nero 8... I have my power setting set to never turn the monitor off nor the hard drive and i don't use a screen saver...normally when i leave the machine i just turn my monitor off...
Here is the error i got in event viewer...
