Windows computer are as stable as mac when talking about the most stable versions.
The instability arises from the problem of viruses and hacks on windows computers causing problems. Macs don't have this type of issue.
Stability will not be an issue. Here are the rules you must follow when going with windows (but even with mac honestly...)
1. Install Windows XP service pack 3
2. Install Pro Tools (the latest version is fine, or 7.4 if you don't like 8)
3. Make a clone of your system drive if reasonably possible
4. Don't install hacked software (not for moral/legal reasons, but because the hacks often cause programming problems).
Your system will as smooth as any computer could!
