In most of the cases, when ever there is a crash like this, there would be an error report showing the information of any file which is responsible for the crash. These crashes can be solved just by replacing the files with new ones in the cases where the files are .dll files. If the files are .exe files, it is better to re-install the application.

File Not found d3dx9_34.dll reinstalling may solve the problem.

This is generally caused because of the missing file d3dx9_34.dll. It will occur mostly when you install a game in the C:\ Drive and you want to transfer it to another drive by copying the dump, to re-install Win XP. But when you do it, this error shows up "File Not found d3dx9_34.dll reinstalling may solve the problem". You can fix this problem just by getting the file d3dx9_34.dll and placing it in c:\windows\system32 if using 32 bit WinXP. Or c:\windows\system if using 64 bit WinXP after your installation. You can get the file from Internet or by any other source.

Not only this, in many cases where it reports the same error, this will be the reason. Just get the file and put it in the place as indicated above, c:\windows\system32 if using 32 bit WinXP. Or c:\windows\system if using 64 bit WinXP. Or sometimes, this may be solved by re-installing DirectX.

Hope you got the solution.
