For the past few months, WMP crashes at least once a day and I can't figure out what can be causing it. How do I even begin to diagnose? I have plenty of memory and do auto-updating. W7U 32 bit.

were you playing a dvd/cd or files from you hdd?
should it be dvd/cd, the media itself may be the problem.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Only files from HDD. A PC guy I just talked to said that this may be from a failing HD. Firefox crashes frequently too.

Components inside the PC could have bad connections too.

If you know how to disassemble your PC, there is a good chance you could correct this issue when you put the parts back together. I've had pretty good luck with this technique myself.

I'm not a BSOD analyst because I've found that having bad connections within the computer to be the trouble most of the time.

Saidas - Cliff may be on to something here.

Twice a year I disassemble my computer completely and clean the connections, all that I can reach including SATA cables and all drive connections plus the CPU socket and DIMM sockets with DeOxit Gold Contact cleaner and also thoroughly blow it out and dust it.
