What happens if you update to the latest buildbot version?
Does it still crash if you remove the ocean modifier from the plane?

It still does the exact same thing.

It doesn't! Hurray!
I guess it had something to do with the Ocean Modifier, then. Wierd....

Sounds like an OpenGL bug. In order to ocnfirm that please get opengl32.dll from http://download.blender.org/ftp/sergey/softwaregl/ and put it next to blender.exe. This will switch blender to fully software OpenG mode which is slower but free from any possible bugs in driver.

Please also make sure you've got latest video driver installed (from GPU vendor site, do not rely on windows update).

I did that. (I think... I'm not good with drivers...) It made no difference.

That did the trick!
