Windows 10: Two separate errors back to back that end in system forced restart. Seems to be similar to...

I just upgraded my motherboard, cpu, and ram. I have a MSI MAG z790 Max Wifi, Intel I7 14700k, and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance 7000mhz all of which are listed as compatible. I have had several ExceptionCodec0000005errors since fresh windows install on this hardware. The two listed below are the latest and caused a forced restart of windows. I've reseated ram, run sfc /scannow, and windows memory diagnostics tool. One scan of sfc scannow found one file corrupt and successfully repaired it. On mem diagnostic scan found hardware issue. After that I reseated the ram and re ran the test. It passed bo

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.

 

forced restarts

it has four 12V rails rated at 19A. thats approx 220W per rail. My previous 600W PSU had four 18A rails and it was listed as a 600W.


Since the PSU has multpile rails instead of one single one, its entirely possible say, for your video card and CPU to end up on the same rail - and with an i7 and a modern video card, 220W isnt going to be enough.

 

How to separate similar applications in the taskbar?

Hi @omega09, welcome to tenforums!

I don't think you can disable that behavior.
The only thing I can suggest is maybe moving one of the instances to another 'virtual desktop'.
