    Hi, I am having a problem with windows where every about 2 hours whether I use my computer or don't use it, all my desktop icons disappear, and goes fully black, sometimes I am on another window and I want to access my desktop, use the start menu, or do alt+tab and its just black! When I do ALT+TAB I get a windows XP themed ALT+TAB window, my start won't open, and my desktop is gone, when I try to restart windows explorer in the task manager, I can't find it! The only way to fix this for me is to restart, which just pains me because my computer takes some time to start up... Please help, this

    :)

    windows explorer keeps rebooting

    I took my comp out of the case yesterday because I wanted to get started on painting/modding the chassis.. on first boot I had this issue but after I restarted my comp it went away. Today I go to turn it on and when it gets in windows it just constantly says windows explorer stopped responding and just keeps rebooting windows explorer non stop.

    I tried starting windows in safe mod but than it still keeps rebooting and even faster since the system is faster in safe mode.. well when I force shutdown last message that pops up before it turns off is like this.

    "0000-00000- something something - cannot read memory" something similar to that.

    the mobo is on top of the mobo box I plugged everything back in perfectly but ofc as usual my comp gives me problems.. or just vista lol I dont think my computer likes vista for its always given me problems but this is the software I want to use and wil not go back to xp since it has no dx10.

    my mobo has a little bend in it from my zalman 9500 cpu cooler backplate, but I would think that if the memory/ram does not have perfect contact than he comp would not work...

    Anyone have suggestions they will be appreciated, I have a headache now lol.

    Desktop keeps flashing


    I tried finding someone else with this problem and solution with no luck.

    Windows 10 installed with no issue but when I sign in the cursor just acts as tho it is thinking and will not let me do anything. Also the desktop keeps flashing. Only way out is to task manager out and start over. But it it repeats again.

    Any suggestions to fix this.
