The error code 0xc0000005 is a memory exception. You can test your memory by downloading memtestx86, burn it to cd, and run it for 5 passes.

If that doesnt help I would run a system file check
(type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>sfc /scannow)

Let us know the results

No memory errors and the system file checker came back clean .... Anyway to repair windows media player - with xp it could be done with the command line , but I have no idea with win 7 ..
