Nicholas, in a transition period I did use PostgreSQL Win 32 8.0 and above on high quality server hardware. Which did not help, because of subtil problems with Windows, VMware and some HP Server tools. Result: we had around 3 blue screens of death every week. Sometimes even more. On a database server. Immediate solution was allways to just restart the server, and the database came up without crying. (long term solution to just dump that server) Just make sure that every write is really written to the disk, and not to some caching facility. Triple check your fsync setting in postgresql.conf.
