Replacing the original file is probably a good idea, but as you said, it doesn't make much sense for it to be the complete solution to the problem.
Kernel errors like you've had could pop up for a multitude of reasons. From experience, they're mostly device driver related. Although Windows isn't exactly the most stable (understatement of the year?) OS out there, the majority of system crashes are due to bad drivers or faulty software application processes.
Only thing I can recommend is to ensure that you have the most current drivers installed for all of your hardware, check the Microsoft site for OS upgrades (like you mentioned), and upgrade your current applications...it's amazing the amount of patches and fixes there is for common applications that people tend to forget about. (MS Office, Lotus, WP, e-mail programs, etc.)
Good luck,
