Im not sure what exactly you've tried
I am assuming you are getting these troubles with a GeForce 8600, or any other GeForce series card. Have you checked in the graphics card's control panel, I think it's the video overlay section? try restoring the default settings.
Im quite sure that windows media player uses DirectX for audio visualizations. quite a few graphics cards have video proccessing capabilities built in, which allows them to process some, or all of the video off of the CPU, freeing up some resources.
so yeah, that's my guess, check the video settings

EDIT: sorry, I think the section I mean to be talking about is called "Adjust video colour settings"

Were you not just having bsod in vista. Seems like those were
nv4_mini.sys errors. Sounds like your card is about to die.
