Well I got this problem when I had a Prescott 2.8 HT . The problem only occured when using the cable modem via USB cable . USB conflict was the main problem with HT processors so when I shifted to ethernet I never got the BSOD.

On the other hand in odd cases you will see HT slows down some of the apps execution instead of running them faster. Oh well I guess fooling the OS in thinking that a single core is dual core to make it work more is not a good idea in reality.
