I’ve also had a similar error, although instead of popping a full
system crash it’s always popped a "windows media player has
encountered a critical error and will now close" message.
I’d suggest going into your system logs and seeing if you can get more
specific information about the crash.
Windows XP:
"Start >> Control Panel >> Performance and Maintenance >>
Administrative Tools >> Event Viewer"
you should be able to find the specific error code there for it, and
then try looking it up via this website:

any more information you can give would help us out as well.
