Definitely doesn't match my experience with NT 4 (I haven't BSOD'd either my development box or server in a long time with VFP). My guess would be a driver issue, especially if you were using NT SP4, which had lots of problems with newer video cards (I still stick by the Matrox cards for use with NT as the most stable platform, but I don't care run much stuff that needs massive 3D acceleration to work.) IAC, there were driver problems that came in at SP4 and cleared up at SP5.
