Hello Bidoux,

What do you mean by crashing within 3 years? For example:
 - The machine if powered on & operating for 3 years and "stops
working" (requiring reboot) at least once
 - The machine stops working (requiring warantee repair) after the
initial warantee ends but within 3 years
 - or something else
The answer will vary based on the type of "crashing" you are interested in.

The odds of your new Mac-Intel successfully navigating the internet
are approximately 3720 to 1.

Hello all, 

3720 to 1.  Wasnt that the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid
field in The Empire Strikes Back?

The question cannot be answered with any degree of certainty.  

I would say, however, that Apples track record of assembling hardware
has proven to be pretty good and with a *NIX base, the computer as a
whole should be pretty reliable as long as the software being
installed on it is reliable.
