ezdee · Dec 26, 2011

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?
If so we need them to enable us to assist you with your computer's symptoms.

* Have you any System Restore points created PRIOR to this happening?

*Type event viewer, in search (by start button) and look for errors that may show the cause of the problem.
Note red critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the CURRENT problem.
