A server which is under light load probably wouldn't stress the system
much.  Check things like the PSU, memory etc.  On a Win95 system I could
understand an application creating bluescreens (the OS is basically
sh*te) but Win2k doesn't suffer from such problems - bluescreens are
always the result of hardware or driver problems (or should be,
otherwise I'd start filing serious bug reports with MS!)

A good test is to soak-test the box with memtest86 for 24 hours and see
what crops up.
