    Explorer Crashing


    Explorer is crashing (although it restarts itself as per normal). Looking in the Event Log I can see this event (I think). It says:

    Faulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 10.0.17763.1, time stamp: 0x8f6f57b3
    Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x0000000007f30fd8
    Faulting process id: 0x2e8
    Faulting application start time: 0x01d46bad016f0766
    Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
    Faulting module path: unknown
    Report Id: 4b96e111-9ad2-40d9-8941-eea16adc43b3
    Faulting package full name:
    Faulting package-relative application ID:

    Pity it says Faulting module path unknown?

    I am running Windows 10 pro 64 bit and Windows 1809 OS Bld 17763.1 (yes the October update before it was withdrawn - but I am not going to blame this necessarily. But just so any forum users know what I am running). I have 8Gb of RAM. Intel i7 processor. OS is on a 220GB SSD and the other disk is 2 Tb for data etc (split into 2 partitions).

    It is only recently that Explorer has started to crash. In the past I have found by reducing the number of RH context menu switches often helps. So I remove all of these from apps that I don't need. There are loads of MS entries but as I don't clearly what these do I have left them alone.

    Any ideas welcome. Thanks

    :)

    Explorer crashing

    Thanks Zat. I had never looked at event viewer and it had more info than I thought. Seems the problem was a second computer I was trying to network with. Unplugging the ethernet cable fixed the crashes. Explorer must have been looking in the wrong place I guess.

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    internet explorer crashing

    Hey,

    I can understand how frustrating this would be.

    Please confirm what happened when you tried the above mentioned steps.

    If not then I would suggest you to try again.

    I would also suggest you to refer to the mentioned link:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/internet-explorer/ie-crashes-stops-working#ie=ie-11

    Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of
    Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all
    previous settings are lost after reset.

    Hope this helps.
