System Specs:
Vista Ultimate 64bit SP2, also on Windows 7 Ultimate
Core2Duo E7200
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L
EVGA 8600GT
GSkill 2x2GB
Rosewill 550Watt PSU
I have this issue, where at a random given time, when I try to either:
1) right click on a blank spot on my desktop causes explorer.exe to crash
2) right click on a shortcut on my desktop explorer.exe to crash
3) right click anywhere inside a folder, such as Documents explorer.exe to crash
4) try to launch the Device Manager or Event Viewer, or any other application that uses mmc.exe (Microsoft Management Console) causes mmc.exe to crash
Without any given warning, it will occur, and without any given warning, it will stop occurring.
The steps I've taken, which failed to correct the issue:
1) reformatted more than once
2) uninstalling my video, audio, network, and mouse drivers
3) disabled all context menu things (when you right click and third party options show up)
Other troubleshooting steps I've taken:
1) ran LinX for an hour and half, passed
2) ran memtest for eleven hours, passed
Now, the thing that bothers me, that this also occurred on Windows 7, but it does not occur on Windows XP.
I'm starting to lose my mind.
Please help.
