Uninstall anything that has added to the right click menu.

ATI and/or NVidia driver packages come to mind. If you like the functionality, then consider this only a test.

There is nothing added to the right click menu.. I do have an ati graphics card, but only the drivers and not the software...

the only items added to the right click menu is when hovered over the recycle bin.. they are ccleaner and tuneup utilities shredder

its not happening all the time, just every now and then, the last time was 2 days ago

Alright. Seems good then. Try from elevated command prompt:

sfc /scannow

Will fix/repair errors in system files and replace with known good copies. Specifically, msvcrt.dll is of interest here.

I ran a scan and its reply was

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Since you've done all that, if you go through this procedure to collect more info, it may be possible to explain the crash:
