Hello Shaun,
we can say something about the issue only after we have some more particular description:
1) kernel version on your system, if you compiled it yourself, then the kernel config.
2) how do you mount the windows share (exact command or some config files (/etc/fstab?), output of 'mount', 'cat /proc/mounts' commands)
3) logs, oops itself if any.
Kernel logging is enabled by default, messages are being saved in /var/log/messages, so check it please, if there are any abnormal messages.
/etc/syslog.conf
...
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
...
But if case of a crash (oops), the message about the oops can miss /var/log/messages, it happens quite often. A serial console will help you to collect the complete logs.

The netconsole is less reliable but also helps quite often.
One more useful thing you can do - increasing the logging level by adding "kernel.printk = 8 4 1 8" string to the /etc/sysctl.conf.
Hope all this helps you to get the logs of the oops.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
