SOLVED windows explorer has stopped working.

[officedemon]

a window will pop up and say....
windows explorer has stopped working...

it restarts and works for a few mins and then


and it starts all over again.


I've never had this problem happen a lot till a few days ago.
CS:GO is the only new thing on my computer I can think of.

Is your overclock IBT, LinX, or Prime blend stable at 4.2GHz, and does the error still occur at default clocks?

Check system Event Log / Event Viewer.

good idea, but with my cooler i'm at 44c max full load. prime95 blend.
i'm only overclocked 200 MHz i haven't have the time to mess with OCing
@4400MHz

So is the system IBT stable even at only a 200MHz overclock, and does the error still occur at default clocks? Does either Memtest86+ or the built-in Windows Memory Diagnostic utility pass w/ the RAM at DDR3-1866? And what were the results of checking the Event Viewer logs like mammut suggested? In case you're not familiar w/ checking the Event Viewer logs for critical errors related to the time of the most recent BSOD...

Start--> Type event viewer in the Start Search field, and hit ENTER. When you open Event Viewer and expand Critical, Application, or System logs - under "Windows Logs" (or look under "Summary of Administrative Events--> Event Type--> Critical)... double click the specific error so it opens in the Summary Page Events window. Next click on Copy--> Copy Details as Text in the RH pane, and paste the contents of the ClipBoard in this thread.
