Windows Freeze When Crank, Crank again windows unfreeze

Okay this is some wierd action...

I Have an Opus 90w

When I start up windows (without the engine running) everything works fine. After windows starts and I am playing MP3's I crank the engine. I hear the sound of the Hard drive (Western Digital 80gig 8mb cache) when it powers up at very first bootup. Windows (medicar) continue to run another 5 seconds or so and then it freezes. No sound, No mouse movement... Nothing, I cant get it to respond for anything.

So I turn the car off and windows continues to run in the frozen state (The opus cant soft shutdown the machine), then I crank the engine again and I hear the same sound of the Hard Drive Powering up at POST and like magic everything resumes, windows unfreezes and Music continues to play.

Now i have 1 question... What in the heck is going on here?
the reson I posted it in the power supply forum is because i think it is power related.

If anyone has any tips on troubleshooting this issue or any one who has experienced this problem please post

Cheers
