Windows 10: Explorer.exe crashing every few minutes. Need help analyzing crash dump.

Hello. I encountered a problem with a new PC. After about 3-4 weeks of use, explorer.exe started crashing and restarting every ~3-30 minutes. I did a system restore which did away with the crashes for about a week, but they came back. So, because of that I decided to do a fresh install only to find out that that it still consistently happens. I tried all of the troubleshooting steps I could find, and nothing helped besides the system restore for a week.I did some reading about how to find the reason for the crashes and made some crash dump files and was wondering if anyone could help read

:)

 

Need help analyzing crash dump

Hello everyone!

I need some help analyzing a crash dump. Through my online research, I see a couple conflicting suggestions for the same issue. Memory problem or potentially a failing CPU have been two common suggestions along with a less common failing cooling system (I do have liquid but haven't see any BSOD for failing systems in the past - it usually just shut down). It won't even boot to Windows (BSOD before I get that far) and doesn't seem to give me the option to boot to Safe Mode to do any trouble shooting that way. I would rather not replace parts frivolously if avoidable. Any help deciphering the dmp would be greatly appreciated. I currently have the drive in another machine and it runs perfectly so I have (potentially) eliminated a corrupt Windows issue. Not sure how to update (or regress) to a different graphics driver or run MemTest if I can't boot to that PC.

explorer just crashed? why?

It happens, nothing unusual... there are many reasons for explorer to crash. A helpful information would be what have you doing when crash occurred?

 

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.
