Explorer.exe crashes

S

Soapm

I am getting frequent crashes from Explorer.exe. When it crashes, I get the
box advising me that it needs to restart but I can keep using it just fine
if I don't click ok on the box. When I click ok, the task bar and desktop go
away briefly then they restart. I don't have to restart the entire system.
Otherwise my system runs flawlessly. I tried rebooting for the first time in
I don't know how long but the problem is still there. I am posting the error
log with hopes that someone can help me resolve this irritation. It would
also help if I knew what to use to read the error log so I can look over it
slowly???

Thanks

HHHhhhuuummmm???

Interesting, I have a 1 gig stick of PC2700 that I bought at Crucial about a
year ago. It was when the next highest had just came out so the prices went
down on the 2700. This eliminates the mismatch part. Poor/cheap must be the
problem since I am price motivated when shopping. Can someone recommend a
reasonably priced gig of DDR?

Click to expand...

Again, I said often, I didn't say for sure. Anyway, good brand name ram
can go bad also.
I'm just noting possibilities.

Thanks anyway Plato, you got me thinking. I ran memtest86 tonight for a good
5 hours or so with no errors. Then I remembered I had found a utility that
let me make a copy, edit then flash my video bios. I didn't really mess with
nothing but I remember I had ran the clock up and didn't write down the
original setting. Since then my puter blinks just after you log into a
profile. I think I'll look for a utility to run it through the paces???
