Macbook Pro i5 freezes in Win 7 (Boot Camp)

Question

Hey guys, loving my new MBP (It's my first Mac, yay) except for one thing... It is freezing randomly in Win 7 Pro 32bit. I'm using Bootcamp 3.1 drivers. The mouse cursor will freeze and I can't do anything. I have to hold the power button down for a few seconds until the machine turns off.
I've found I'm not alone, and there are users who have had this issue with Vista as well.

It looks like the problem is related to the Nvidia display driver. I've tried downloading the latest drivers (197.16notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_internationalwhql.exe) but I get the error "The Nvidia Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
It looks like I'm going to have to mod the display driver so I can install it.
Anyone else having this issue?

FYI - Froze with the modded nVidia driver 197.16. Happened when I moved a window. It's so random. Next day Windows Update notified me of a new graphics update (197.45) installed that but then froze randomly when I had Team Fortress 2 running in the main menu.
When it first happened I didnt get any errors in the Event Viewer.
Here's a few I recently got in the last freeze.
HAL:
The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system.
The previous system shutdown at 10:34:56 PM on 28/04/2010 was unexpected.
ACPI:
: The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
Kernel-Power:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
Warning:
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\4&23e1a068&0.
Will keep digging...
