It's a fair observation you make Chris. If one isn't around to witness the BSOD once can't always attribute it to flakely hardware or drivers. A bad video driver can take out the best machine.
It's rare for me to update general software on my astro lab PC - so I just kind of expect it to work. Whereas my NAS box running a media server has less specific hardware in it and runs less complex programs - so its not an apples vs apples comparison.
The question I poised was one where I don't actually know the answer too and was seeking more informed input. I don't mind what the correct answer is if it can be well established and any conditions on it identified.
