Windows itself virtually never crashes. The only thing that'll cause a 2005+ system to crash is hardware failure, or a hardware driver failure/bug. I have a 2010 laptop I use daily that's not once BSOD'd. My Surface Pro has never BSOD'd. My older desktop has, but the message has always been related to the graphics driver, and I sometimes have to reseat the card to get it to boot, so it's probably a physical world problem.

I've had my GPU card crash several times, and all I got was a blank screen for a few seconds, followed by a notice that the video driver died and restarted. Sometimes it might flip into "basic" mode after that. Before, such a problem would have been a BSOD.
