Suggest checking the Event Viewer for Error that corresponds to the crash:

Follow this path:
Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Event Viewer> Click on System & Apps, one at a time on the left> look for Errors on the right> right click error> Properties> note description of error, Event# and Source.

There is a "copy" button below the up/down arrows. Click that, then paste (use CTRL-V) the event details here. It makes for easy reporting of the event-you do not need to include the lines of code that follow the Description-but paste all else.

You will be looking for Error that occurs at the time of the problem. Please ignore Warnings.

the Error will give us three pieces of information to help determine the cause.

Event 7, Source: Disc, Desc: The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/241684.htm

Event 8032, source: Browser, Desc: The backup browser is stopping.
Explanation from Event ID Net:

This computer is currently a backup browser. Backup browsers periodically retrieve the browse list from the master browser. This computer could not retrieve the browse list from the master browser five times consecutively.

The Browser 8021 event is usually logged when this event is logged. Possible causes include:
* Network outages,
* Name resolution problems,
* An overloaded master browser, or
* A master browser that is unavailable because, for example, it is shut down or has lost network connectivity.

This event usually indicates poor network health. If the backup browser cannot retrieve the browse list from the master browser, its list becomes stale and therefore unreliable, so it stops being a backup browser.

No action is needed unless you see this message on several different computers. This could indicate problems with the master browser.

This event may occur when File and Print Sharing is not installed or the master browser has multiple network interfaces. Having NetBEUI installed can also cause this error. (so unless you need it, remove NetBEUI)

Event ID0, Source: Media Center Scheduler, Desc: ( Media Center Scheduler ) cannot be found..
If this is logged, it probably means that the EPG downloader crashed during a download. Depending on the text of the message, take appropriate action (see if it maps to the text of any of the other errors); otherwise, try attempting download again, check for updates, or reinstall the product.
