window xp media edition keeps restart

| I just recently built friend a system with:
Intel P4 3.0g hert
MSI PT880 Motherboard
ATI 9600XT video card
250 maxtor hard drive
Toshiba 8x dvd burner
hp all in one 2510 printer(Anyone have any problem with this printer
because I suspect it might be the this printer driver because it is
quick big 370mg)
Window xp media edition
However, the system keep restart everytime I play a video file. I
Install all drivers updates from hardware manufacture website for all
of the hardware, but that does not seem to solve the problem. Finally,
I changed the Ram from PC 3200 512g to PC2700 256mg. Then, the restart
problem did not happen again for a couple of days. But now it happens
again. Once in a while when I am on my dial up internet, the system
automatically restart. when it start up, it gives me an error message
saying "system just recover from a serious error". I check the log
file on the error report to see where the error is and the error report
say this 2 files will be sent to microsoft if i want to send. In the
error log files are two files:
C:\docume~1\Richard~/locals~1temp\wer1bca.dir00\mini010405.03.dmp
C:\docume~1\Richard~/locals~1temp\\wer1bca.dir00\sysdata.xml
Please help

| Have you installed MCE (Windows XP Media Center Edition) drivers? For
example, you can't use the Windows XP drivers for the Radeon 9600XT
card, you must use specific MCE drivers. And note, there is no
guarantee that MCE drivers even exist, they may well not. And since the
9600 series cards are not on the MCE HCL, while there are drivers on the
Microsoft WinXP MCE CDs, they are not MCE drivers but XP drivers, and
they may not actually work for MCE functions other than PURE "desktop"
(e.g. non-MCE) functionality.
This is a very key point: MCE, while based on Windows XP Pro, requires
separate, special drivers, especially for the multimedia components. I
built a system with a Radeon 9600 and it did not work with the standard
XP drivers (it didn't crash, but it also didn't play video, at all). It
did work once I installed the Radeon 9600 MCE drivers (not on either the
WinXP MCE CDs or the ATI Radeon CDs, but for the 9600 Pro, a driver does
exist and is downloadable from the ATI web site).
One of the problems with MCE, and a reason why MS is not releasing it as
a retail product, is that it has a VERY limited list of "compatible"
hardware. People are assuming that "any old" XP system will run MCE.
IT WON'T. You need to build the system from components on the MCE HCL
(hardware compatability list). And some people are "shocked" at what
they find, for example, NONE of the ATI "All-in-Wonder" cards are on the
HCL, and even ATI says not to use any of the ATI "AIW" cards for MCE.
MCE really is fantastic, but getting everything installed & properly
configured and hooked up is very challenging, it's not at all like a
"plain old" Windows XP system.
[And you have good reason to be suspicious of the HP MFP, but that may
well be only one of several problems]
[Also, I STRONGLY recommend that you get a Hauppauge "MCE" version tuner
card.]
