I've been having pacifica333's same problem. I'm about to try and uninstall MP and see if that changes anything.
I have 4983 Songs total. When I update my iPod it always crashes my computer at around 300 something.
I always get this error: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER, which can be talked about in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;q293078.
I'm guessing MP is causing my Video card to lag horribly, thus restarting my computer.
