You can't say that. Linux stresses the hardware much more than
Windows. So, Windows can be "stable" while Linux is crashing all the
time...

Hmm, this is the controller your hd is on, right? I guess, the crash
should be quiet easily reproducible, if it's the driver's fault, with
"Bonnie" - a benchmark tool, which stresses the hd a lot.
Do you get a see something useful in your logs? Is there a kernel
panic?
Checking the hardware would be a good idea. For example, running
memtest86 to check the core...
