I've tried all the development kernels for F7, I also tried the i386 version of F7, and I even tried going back to the current FC6 kernel and no luck, the system still crashes. Nothing comes out on the console (using a serial console) occasionally I'll get an entry in /var/log/mcelog but they did not coincide with the system crash. This system ran stable as a rock on FC6 and as of last night I went back to FC6. When reinstalling the system I reformatted all the partitions except for /home. The system is an Intel DG965RY motherboard and a Pentium D processor. Just to make sure something didn't happen to the system between the upgrades I ran for 9+ hrs memtest86 v3.3, it found no errors.
