I am running 3 windows 2003 servers with postgresql/postgis on them. I use pgAdmin too to monitor and query. With postgresql/postgis I use mapserver configured on IIS (no, not Apache and no ms4w). The production server has been running 8.2 since februari 2007, without a single crash. I never experienced pgAdmin crashes. Two weeks ago I set up a postgresql 8.3 with postGIS and migrated 50% of the production databases, all in 25 minutes. Despite the fact that some people are a bit quick with shouting "linux", I think the postgresql/postGIS community offers excelent support for Windows based operating systems. My guess would also be; check that hardware. I had some poor experiences in the past running windows 2003 on HP Proliant 19"rack servers machines that where probably assembled on a monday..
