WinRAR crashing Windows 7 64 bit
This desktop was built about 3 weeks ago by CyberPowers, February 2012.
OS came pre-installed.
Specs:
Processor: AMD FX-8150
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit OEM
As stated above, I had this desktop recently built. It has crashed three times already. First time it was during an installation of Starcraft 2. At that time, I was running multiple applications. I restarted and was able to install sucessfully without running other applications. I did not report that incident because I thought it was just a minor bug.
Yesterday, 3/6/12, my PC crashed again while running WinRAR to extract a multi-part RAR file (7 parts, a video in WMV format). I tried again with a different file set, also a 7 part RAR file (containing a WMV file). I was able to copy those files and extract them with no problem on my laptop, also running Windows 7 64 bit OEM.
