Windows explorer freezing shortly after startup
Once my computer loads I try to use anything on my taskbar or to search using the start menu but upon trying any of these things the explorer will completely freeze and eventually crash to two error messages about being unable to find specific memory locations for different programs, after this windows seems to crash to a black screen.
One of the crashes ended in a BSOD (which did NOT create a minidump), I did manage to get a picture of the screen though and the crash code if F4.
Please note startup recovery doesn't fix this.
Loading windows in safe mode stops the fault.
Also another thing to note is I do not have any recovery points so this isn't an option.
I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.
If hardware information is needed please specify so.
