explorer.exe not working
Little background:
It started a week ago, when my TV tuner got defected due to which my PC wasn't even getting started(due to some shorting). Then, when this problem got solved(removing TV tuner card), my processor was getting extremely hot(>90 degree C). I applied thermal paste to solve this problem and temperature came down to around 50s.
Here starts the main part:
Now my explorer will not work. My PC hung, and unable to do anything I resorted to CTRL-ALT-DEL. But even CTRL-ALT-DEL never responded. Then I started PC in Safe mode and somehow copied important data(media) from C and installed a fresh version of windows. but after a few hours same occurred. explorer.exe stopped, and PC hung. Then I restored it in safe mode, and after a few hours same occured(explorer stopped). Then I tried installing windows once more, but still problem persists.
During all this I used malwarebytes, hitmanpro, QuickHeal, Microsoft security essentials, and I can be sure of no virus being present in my system.
And, one more thing, my PC is working fine in safe mode(everything working).
