Windows explorer shuts down and restarts over and over
Please forgive any typos...I have to use my phone. :) also please forgive the lack of system information - I am not able to get it off my PC currently.
This morning when I booted my computer, Windows Explorer kept encountering a problem and closing, then restarting. It does this in a never ending loop. I googled this error and found a suggestion to try safe mode. I did and the loop still happens in safe mode. I looked at the event viewer and saw some errors, but I don't know what they are or how to correct them. I ran sfc /scannow in safe mode with the command prompt. It got to 33% and said it could not be completed. I ran a chkdsk /f and it said it corrected some things, but the screen closed before I saw what. I ran sfc /scannow again, and now it closes out the command prompt window entirely after sitting at 33% -it doesn't give me the message about not finishing.
At this point I gave up trying to find the answers on my own and am coming here for help. Thanks for any help you can provide. I will try to provide any diagnostic info I can, given the limirations my computer is experiencing at the time. :)
