No, it's a HOT program (pun intended ;-)

No. There is some sort of exponential curve. Systems are most likely
to crash in 0 seconds. Those however don't make it out of the
factory. So stuff that stays up for more than 2 minutes may make it
out of the factory onto your desk. From then on you can expect say
1.6% of the machines to crash in 2-4 minutes, then 0.8% in the next 4
minutes, another 0.4% in the next 8 minutes and so on.
I really recommend leaving the system running for around a whole night
before declaring a system stable.
Robert's statement "if sub-spec, your system may lock up after 2-10
minutes" still holds.
You're also right: you can take 10 minutes as a hint that you're ok.
