The need to concentrate on debugging and streamling code instead of trying to be the the game that crammed the most eye-candy that will BSOD or crash.

I agree, but with your system specs you shouldn't have problems with BF2 or Fear, hell my cpu is lower than yours and i dont get bsod playing those games. Upgrade to 1gig of ram and if you still get bsod, you possibly got a heating problem.

You should never get a BSOD, in any case, due to flaws in a user level program like a game. If the hardware isn't good enough, it can run slower or not at all, if it has bugs it may crash, but it should never take the OS with it. A BSOD may indicate bas OS programming, bad driver programming, or faulty hardware. Of course, current quality standards being what they are, those things would be expected.
