I have to agree with the others, Random acts of crashing smells of Hardware or Power supply issues. Have you run any hardware testing?

I know you wanted to delay checking for memory issues... but this sure looks like a memory error. Issues will appear randomly. VERY randomly.
If you don't want to pull the memory out, you can build a bootable USB with memtest+ on it and run that exhaustively.

this is not a hardware issue.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY the same problem, with the same strange frequence.
When it starts crashing, I usually don't have many solutions : reinstall en rescan all.
Very annoying, at least 2 times a month.
But as vpekus said, playing the same movie or show on the same pc without even rebooting but using plex works great (by the way I never got a crash with it).
i'm less and less confident in xbmc, more and more on plex.
there are options missing for sure in plex, big ones, but reinstalling en rescanning with xbmc comes too often.
But I think the errors in xbmc are more frequent after many modifications occured in the library.
Possible ?
