Without making the obvious "this is about XBMC, not Aeon" comment, I'd say it's unusual to be getting idle crashes on any platform. I run XBMC on Windows XP when developing and it seems pretty rugged, though there are certain triggers that make it crash. My HTPC runs it on Ubuntu Linux, initially with Gutsy but now Hardy, and while it does seem to be getting more crash-happy rather than less, it's totally stable when idling.
I'd give serious thought to tweaking your RAM timings and system voltages, and maybe doing a thorough driver/BIOS update. And if it's an Nvidia card you're using, remember the fucking mess they've made of their Vista drivers from day one; maybe downgrade to XP?
