As much as I hate to say it, it could be problems with your RAM. http://www.memtest.org/download/4.10/memtest86+-4.10.iso.zip
Download this, unzip it, burn the .iso to a cd, and boot to it on your hp. Let it run for a few hours. If it comes up with no errors, then it's probably one of the things the others mentioned. If it does have errors, that's your problem and the RAM needs replaced.

I think that you need to reinstall/repair your Windows and update your Media Player (if that is what you are using for videos/music).
This process is really quite simple. You need to boot the machine from the Windows installation disk and select the option to Repair your Windows installation.
The other way to go would be to install Winamp and disable Windows Media Player. Winamp is said to be better that WMP, anyway.
