The bad track might be choking the player even if you quickly go to tuner mode. You might want to check out Paul's link just in case to eliminate it.

thinking of this: is it possible that a bad track gets the player to reboot even if it's not the track actually playing? If so I could erase everything and reload artist by artist and checking if it works with every track and maybe that way I find a bad track?

But what remains are the "memory violation" messages I get while the player is booting.
