Ok, but you have to be fair and mention what caused those problems.
It's usually not the OS itself but some 3rd party software.
This can't happen with Mac because they review every program first internally - but at a high price:
The variety of progis for Win computers just aren't available for mac.

Let me review my last 3 BSODs/fatal errors:

1.
A Sony Z600Tek I modified to 512mb although it was only certified for 256mb.
It was a dual boot machine and the idiot who set up the machine put W2000 and XP on the same partition.
So hyberfil of W2000 influenced XP for some reason.

Problem caused by: User

2.
Acer Aspire M5100
BSOD, reported nvlddmkm error, with 4Gigs of Ram and nvidia driver but not with only 2Gb. 4Gb without nvdia driver also ok.
OS: Win7, but not certfied for W7.
Changed (proprietary!) mobo: All fine now.

Problem caused by: Acer f-faces

3.
Unknown Brand, XP
Problem: Doesn't react on any input after start-up(froze on desktop)
Didn't solve it myself since I didn't build the system and didn't want to mess around with it(elder guy, system adjusted for him).

Problem: Panda(wtf is that?) Anti Virus.
