Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello, yesterday my computer crashed. 

It doesn't happen often, maybe twice a year, but anyway it crashed with
a fatal exception. I booted back into windows, no problem with the
computer itself. 

This locked up the Sidstation. I could turn it off and back on, but I
could not go into patch selector mode, then it frooze up. The only way
to "unlock" it was to do a system reset, and loosing all the patches. By
sheer luck, I did a backup of all patches on sunday.

I noticed during the crash (while computer displayed bluescreen) that
the Sidstation MIDI activity went crazy. All four leds blinked
frantically.

So what happened - did it crash because it received bad MIDI signals?
Can a computer crash result in the computer spitting out dangerous MIDI
signals?
Does the Sidstation do Active sensing or something? Will a computer
crash trouble that?
What can I do to prevent this from happening again? 


(Maybe I was remotely punished by Elektron for wanting more
functionality, i guess they have a little world-wide radio transmitter
in the SID that is connected to the
Send-goobeligook-to-patch-memory-chip :-)
