Hi Scott,
the problem is that there are machines built, that have UEFI
instead of the classic BIOS
and the only way for those to boot is from such a FAT partition,
except if the vendor spent extra money on a legacy-compat module
(and some don't)
I'm not sure how the method of booting
can influence the stability of the system
maybe through differences in ACPI
which vendors usually test with MSWindows and even add hacks for it
and it might be worth debugging those instabilities
but for that, we would need further info
about the type of hardware - e.g. attach output from hwinfo --all
and how those instabilities show up, kernel messages during hangup, etc
You could also try the openSUSE Factory version,
which is much newer than 13.1 so could have fixes for these issues
and even if not, it would be easier+faster to get fixes into it.
