My SW1000XG also still works just fine. Of course my mainboard isn't exactly new anymore, but it's not that old (it's an ASUS P5LD2 SE Core 2 Duo mainboard).
A while ago I also experienced blue-screens, in REAPER of all apps. It turned out I had to "Restrict MIDI hardware output to one thread" under Prefernces > MIDI Devices. Everything has been just fine again ever since. So if your blue-screen only appears when REAPER is also active, then perhaps this setting will also solve your problem.

When I started using REAPER I made a couple of test recordings through the SW1000XG, which worked quite well. If I remember correctly the latency was 128 samples or so, not too bad. Of course the SW1000XG supports only 16-bit audio, which is why indeed I don't use it for audio anymore.
