Windows 7 BSOD with more than one CPU

[Dave Loverink]

Does anyone know if Parallels 7 finally fixes the problem with Windows 7 BSOD (and the update your BIOS message) if the VM is assigned more than one CPU?

This has been an issue for months under v6 for 32 and 64-bit Win 7.

I had the same question. I was hoping it did, but I'm not buying it until I know for sure...

I just upgraded to Parallels 7 last week, running 15050, and I decided to bump the CPU number back up to 2 to check this. I came in this morning to a BSOD, so apparently this has NOT been fixed. This has been a problem now for what, 18 months now? Granted, it ran 24/7 for a week before it blue-screened, but in my case, I need reliability more than I need 2 CPUs. Back to 1 CPU for me.

Not a happy camper...
