All was well till I saved & exited.  About 370 turns & 30 cities.  Sorry, don't have much info from the time of the BSOD.  It died as I was exiting.

 

Later loading the save game,    debug.err      http://pastebin.ca/1933989

Are you sure that was the only error in the event log? There should be a system error from the BSOD--application errors can't cause a BSOD under modern windows versions. Usually BSODs are caused by driver or hardware issues.
