  1. Explorer.exe taking all memory until it crashes while doing intensive I/O - Windows Server 2019


    Hi,


    I have a fresh Windows Server 2019 Installation and when using my compression tools explorer.exe gets bigger and bigger until it eats whole 64 gb ram and crashes system, system logs don't say anything only that there was a critical shutdown due to no response with a failed memory dump. Swap file is set to auto, tested with static as well with over 70 GB.


    When I kill explorer.exe everything works fine but when I execute it, it's starting to eat memory in fast linear fashion.


    I have tried using TotalCommander instead of explorer.exe as my file explorer but with the same result, total commander was behaving the same way.


    I have since reinstalled the whole system from scratch, installed latest updates and tested again with my portable tools - same result.

    It also allocated lot of memory when I installed and run VM from Oracle, it didn't release the memory after closing the VM.


    When looked at the process of explorer.exe it shows a lot of I/O and shcore.dll being the source of problem in explorer.exe, when I unload this module it will calm down for a little while and come again to eat memory.


    I did not had this problem on Windows Server 2012.


    Disk Configuration: Raid0 2xSSD, NTFS


    Before installing system from scratch I have tested file integrity and originality - everything was ok, I have never installed anything on this system except for copying my portable tools for compressing files and I'm sure they are not the problem as same happens when tested Oracle VM - just running bare windows, before going with the new installation.

    Windows explorer crashing

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem as the OP in this thread.
    Windows Explorer crashes whenever I open my external HDD or thumb drive in explorer..

    I have tried the fixes listed in the above thread and I am getting the same error message as 'ktadie' (post 16). I think this is because I am running Windows 7 Professional. Windows explorer crashes when I open my 'Films' folder on my brand new 2tb external HDD. I have about 300 .avi files in this folder and some of the .avi files are several years old.

    In short I believe I need the same fix given by 'Wile E' (post 7) but updated for Windows 7 Professional.

    Thanks in advance.

    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?
