Yeah really, cause windows will share irq's... shouldnt be a problem .. try software first. Then suspect hardware.

Apparently AVI files are causing the problem. In both WMP and Realplayer the avi's shut down computer. Does this point to anything specific?

I used to get the same problem as you do, but I asigned new and individual IRQ's to all of the hardware and it dissapeared. I was useing 98 SE at that time, I know that XP shares IRQ's and I have the same thing listed as he does in my device manager. The video card and network adapter are both on the same IRQ and I used to get conflicts until I uploaded a newer version of BIOS. Maybe you should check into that.
