Do you have a ATI graphic card?

This is a display driver problem. Always a windows problem in how it handles crashes from the display driver. Before Windows 7, your screen would simply freeze and then you'd either have to wait or reboot. In 7, they implemented a timer to restart the driver after a certain amount of time without a response. There's a registry hack to up that amount of time, but I'd reinstall your display drivers first.

The file that crashes is always XBMC.EXE.
I have been through whole ATI drivers setups, right now I have installed 14.6 RC.
In XBMC 12.3, with ATI crossfire always on, with 14.6 RC, the error "AMD Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" does not happen simply.
In XBMC 13.1, with ATI crossfire always on, with 14.6 RC, XBMC.EXE crashes.
Could you please tell me how can I change the widows registry key/value with some more time, to try to solve this issue.
In all 13's versions, the XBMC crashes. I do not understand why.
For me it seems more to be a XBMC problem.
You see, every time I want to open XBMC, I have to switch off firstly crossfire in video control panel. It becomes a kind of boredom.
corpgator: When you say to install drivers again, you mean install them without a clean DDU uninstall procedure previously?

XBMC 13.2 “Gotham” beta1 Windows
With Crossfire enabled, it still crashes XBMC while playing or streaming a video.

While there MAY be some issue with XBMC, it has approximately a 0.001% chance of being fixed, as that's the chance that someone with developer skills on windows will a, hit it, b, have time to debug it, and c, have the skills to fix it.
So unless you're one of those people, I'm afraid you'll simply need to use your workarounds. Note that there's generally only ever problems on Windows with ATI drivers. I'll let you decide why that may be.
