I consistently get a blue screen error during memory intensive computations in Matlab (2007b) on Vista SP1.  Any idea as to what is going on (the out of memory error does not seem to be terminating the script; rather, the OS crashes), or what I can do to have more graceful termination of the program?     

Jacek,
ctr+c in the command window stops execution.
Not ideal, but might save you reboot time.

Please send the M-file you're running when you receive the blue screen to 
Technical Support along the output of the VER function and as much 
additional information about your system (processor, memory, etc.) as you 
can so they can investigate the cause of this behavior.

I tried to upgrade my computer to 4gb of ram and I also got blue screens... when I went back down to 2gb everything was fine. I never did figure out if it was matlab or the ram causing the problem though....

o
First thing I would suspect in a case like that is the RAM
Run a diagnostic like memtest86 to see if you might have some
bad RAM. before doing so though , make the the RAM is 
properly seated ( most electronic problems are die to bad
connections.
