It's certainly a difficult problem to isolate - as you say it may well be connected to some other combination of application / drivers. I shall investigate emacs help as a next step.

Those of us who never experience it will not be familiar with `BSOD': it is I presume the blue screen shown by a fatal error in Windows internals. I think I have seen just once under XP (in 2 year's usage). If so it contains information about the cause. BTW, as the rw-FAQ Q2.11 indicates, this is not the right list for ESS users' questions, but my guess would be that this is not a problem in either R or ESS.
