I have tried to playback a few .avi movies, and they all crash whether or not im playing them in Quicktime or VLC (Both fullscreen). The sound stutters, as if it was repeating it self every .5 second. The Mac is totally crashed, and a hard reset is the only way to recover it. The crash happens at random it seems, 5+ minutes into the films. The crashes never happen the same places.

Any suggestions as to how this happens?

I have the following QT plugins installed:
AC3MovieImport.component
Perian.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
LAMEEncoder.component

I'd try other known good files to see if they play correctly. Maybe download a trailer from Apple's web site.
