    Intermittent crashes *need opinions*


    Good afternoon people,

    I've been expirementing intermittent crashes on my PC and was looking to get some ideas of what my be the underlying issue. From what is happening, my immediate thoughts are this is a hardware issue. I have re-installed windows, on top of a freshly formatted drive, and the problem persists.

    The only error I've recorded in the last day or so is the following

    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
    Application Name: explorer.exe
    Application Version: 6.1.7600.16768
    Application Timestamp: 4d6878c3

    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
    Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
    Exception Code: c0000005
    Exception Offset: 5f5614c0
    OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48

    Additional Information 2: b4ee5de6a2322745523997a782b35692
    Additional Information 3: 277e

    Check out this section and look at the posting instruction for bsod's and crashes.

    Crashes and Debugging - Windows 7 Forums

    That would be the best place for help..:)

    By the way explorer.exe crashes are usually caused by items in the context menu. Have you added any programs that have added items to this menu?

    Sorry about the post rule violation, I actually did go there first but since I wasn't precisely getting a BSOD I neglected to post there.

    I did have an APP (avast anti-virus) that kept trying to pop open a window advertizing subscriptions to their product. I uninstalled this before I posted and have yet to see any crashes.
