There appears to be a bug in Win7 related to video playback. This can be provoked by running the BurnInTest Video playback test for about 10 minutes. The system will crash with a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) indicating ataport.sys as the device driver at fault.
There are number of posts on this subject on the web (search for, ataport.sys win7 bsod) indicating that this occurs with numerous media players like Windows media player and VLC.
