ahhhhhh i'm gonna go insane
my explorer.exe keeps crashing for no reason
like ateast 5 times a day
usually it happens when I goto open a folder it will just crash
but it reloads itself right away

its just so annoying and i have no idea why its doing that

Are you overclocking, that could do it.

yes 1.53 @ 1.9ghz
but it never used to do that

it is also possible that one of the Windows updates caused this. It happened to me after an update several months ago (I wish I could remember which update). Fortunately, it happened while updating a fresh install so I didn't have TOO much time wrapped up in reformatting and such.
