Do you have more than 4 cores on your processor ?

There is a bug in this case in DirectX that may crash the system

= apply fix WindowsXP-KB953028-x86-ENU.exe

I have four cores + HT cores. Does that count?

Nope, that hotfix did not fix the problem. I finally got a lock up
overnight after 31 minutes of playing a MPEG-2 video.

Boo! I just had another lock up, but this time it was from a HQ MP4
video file! Sheesh! Disabling VPU doesn't fix it so back to very low
clock cycles tests. [sighs] Also, I am still using this hotfix. So two
times already.
