What package do you have? The single core package isn't really recommended for Windows because of the memory requirements of the GUI. I had a Windows single core for a simple service and it was a terrible experience. That isn't any fault of NFO though.

EDIT: Also, what is your ping to the VDS? Do other services that use your internet run fine? Remote desktop experience degrades with higher latency.

Is it actually crashing, or are you being disconnected? Are you seeing any packet loss to the VDS?

Is it crashing on a stock windows install, with no strange software that might cause the OS to crash?

Does windows have any popups when you reconnect saying it has bluescreened or anything?

Have you tried Windows 2008R2? If you are having trouble with 2012 give 2008R2 a shot, it is still my preferred windows server OS.
