I built an ECC desktop. It still BSODs from time to time (even one time corrupting the disk). And not once have I actually had an ECC error.
ECC being the pinnacle of stability is a bit of a myth IMO.

I don't live in Chernobyl or outer space so no.
Blake Miller
if it's corrupting the disk is that the memories fault or some paging software?
Luke Walker
does ECC really affect BSODs?
If your RAM is causing BSODs I would assume it would fail a memtest. And aren't most BSODs related to other things - drivers or other failing hardware?
