Yes, this will work just fine. In addition, you could simply use ping to detect if the Windows machine has become unresponsive, that is of course assuming that when the machine is unresponsive that includes the NIC and IP stack. Might be a little easier than dealing with SNMP traps. Ultimately either should do the trick just fine without to much trouble.
