In the past week I've had 2 blue screen of death's happen after closing Revit 2010. A couple of seconds after closing, both my displays go black, then get the blue memory dump screen.

If I recall, both instances happened early in the morning when I had opened a project, but then closed it without doing anything (no Save message appeared) and then closed Revit. I was doing this because of settings changed or whatever that might require a restart of the program. I'm about to open the project again, and then close it, just to see what happens.

I havent seen a BSOD in quite some time, besides one laptop in the office that is highly problematic. That machine also doesnt even have any version of Revit installed.

Every Revit box here has SP2, no BSOD's to report. Weve got a mix of XP32, Vista64, Dual Cores, Quad Cores, memory ranging from 2g-12g, and both ATI and NV cards.

I also had not seen a BSOD for quite some time before last week. However, my co-worker had one on her laptop (with 2 external displays hooked up to it) a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not sure if it was Revit-related or not. She had WU1 installed at the time.

That's a symptom of running out of memory. I assume you're on a 32-bit system. How much RAM do you have installed? If 4 GB, are you using the 3GB switch?

we are on a network and we get BSOD everytime we leave Revit open and have to log back in and sometimes it just goes to a black screen upon instantly shutting down our computers.

Other than that, life is good.

Try to update your video driver. When windows locks the computer when you leave it for too long it resets the gpu adapter, thus the problems.
