Just because you didn't install anything new doesn't mean it isn't a bad
driver or failing hardware...maybe Subversion stresses it more than you
were or it's hardware just starting to fail. Applications cannot
directly cause bluescreens and TSVN and Subversion are just normal
applications (that do a ton of disk activity). Of course, a bug in
Windows or a driver could be hit by Subversion and cause a
bluescreen...but that is hardly Subversion's problem. Did you take note
of the module and error code on the bluescreen? Sometimes that is a
good hint.

No version control at all for ten years? That is just scary. :)

We've been using Subversion for several repositories on several machines
with many clients (mostly using svn:// protocol) without a single
repository problem for over 3 months now. All servers and clients on
Win2k, or XP, or 2003.

As you have suggested, it is hard to do any diagnosis or help very much
without a repro recipe...but keep us informed if you find any helpful
information.
