Windows Explorer freezing and restarting

[Cdubya]

My laptop was getting the BSOD but has stopped and is now just constantly freezing and windows explorer is crashing and restarting which basically I can't do much between the crashes and restarts.. Any way to fix this?

Hi,

If this issue started occurring after doing some recent software changes on your computer, then I would suggest you to restore your system back to a date when it was working fine. System Restore will affect Windows system files, programs, and registry settings only.

For System Restore steps, you can refer to the URL mentioned: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

If the issue still persists, run a test on the Hard Drive to confirm functionality. If you get any error code, make a note of the error code.

If you have the Win7 disk, try booting from it and doing a 'Startup Repair'
