Songs selected restarting the iPod. Corrupt iPod Control file?

My friend has a fifth gen iPod that seems to be on the fritz. Apparently the songs she loads on the iPod don't work when she disconnects it. The she tries to select them, the iPod turns off and then restarts. Has any one had this problem before or knows how to fix it? She's tried the built in error check tool and ran the diagnostic. Here is the log from the diagnostic:

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately I know that the songs aren't affected by the EQ. I'm pretty sure that it is either one song that is corrupt that is causing this to happen or that the iPod Control file that manages the loading and playing of the music is corrupt somehow.
Yeah, I really don't expect too many people to even understand what that diagnostic garble actually means let a lone read it. I did notice after I posted this that the iTunesHelper was not running at the time. Since my friend lives in a different state I really can't check to see if it's on or not. I'm going to see if I can just restart the iTunesHelper (if I can figure out how) and see if that does the trick.
