Perfectly good computers do make random bit flip mistakes, and the smaller they get the more issues we will see with that.

Even highly QA'd code like they put on the space shuttle put 5 redundant computers in to reduce the chance they all fail.

Not every piece of software is worth the resources to do that though. If your game crashes just restart it.
