Windows Explorer Crashes every ten seconds

Hi Folks

Every time I try to open a folder after few seconds I get a message saying Windows Explorer has stopped working. I checked "Always show icons, never thumbnails" when ever I uncheck the box windows explorer will not last for 10 seconds am trying to locate the error and I like using the thumbnail.

I will be glad if someone can help.
Thanks

Generic advice / information.

* Your problem may be caused by many things > RAM problems >graphics drivers > overclocking > heat issues > using more than one AntiVirus at the same time > etc etc.

* Make sure all intake/exhausts vents are clean along with all fans. Then get some temp monitoring software for cpu, gpu.

* If overclocking, restore to original

*Any BSOD DMP files produced?
