BlueScreen - Windows 7 stop and restarts at random times

• When you pass "Windows Explorer" stopping and restarting. Only happening since I installed 9 Microsoft Updates, the update of Windows 8 December 2009. (Vista Ultimate SP2)

  Each week, I (manually) install the recommended update of Windows updates. I'm under IE8 too. Also running Microsift Security Essentials.
  Since the installation of updated 9 dec, (KB974318, 905866, 890830, 976416, 973917, 970430, 976325, 976884, 971737) 8, about 3 - 5 times a day, I click to open a folder, or click a link - I get a window saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working".  He says while it collects information, and then restart Windows Explorer.
  It happened this morning, as soon as I clicked on "Windows Update" icon of the button 'start '. It also occurs when the single click to open a folder on my desktop or inside another folder.

  I've also observed sometimes when you try to delete an important file (for example 300 MB) the deletion starts but seems to hang and ends not - even after 10 minutes or more.

  Before installing the latest batch of updates I have not seen these problems within 9 months I've been running this machine.
  Any ideas?

  I run McAfee anti virus and it is up-to-date.  I also ran SpyBot and PC Tools 36 hours - clean.
  Last night I ran as Microsoft on line scanners - no found major problems, some problems of minor registry, which I corrected.
  Windows Explorer problem occurred twice since the scan.

  Someone knows a problem associated to the last batch of updates?
  Thank you.

  I just spent a few hours of operation, McAfee, Spybot, PCTools Spyware Doctor Lavasoft Ad-Aware, removal tool Microsoft malicious software, Microsoft defender, PC Tools Registry mechanic. All work in a deep analysis, if appropriate and all give zero infections/problems.

  You can run the scan utility from now until the cows is home and still not detect & remove all this hijackware, Colin. See...

• Whenever I try to open a folder, windows Explorer stops and restarts. How can I open my files?

  When I double click on a folder to open it or try to open it in the start menu, an alert tells me that windows Explorer has to close, and then restart. I can't open the windows. I can open the fine when I'm in safe mode but not in normal startup. I tried to use a restore point, but my computer has not been implemented system restore points. Help!

  It could be Aproblematique with the codecs trying to preview the files. Go to the Control Panel, reports on problems and Solutions, click on "View problem history" on the left pane, scroll down to Windows Explorer, under click twice on the problem that correspond to the date and time that you have encountered the problem. Note the name of the file next to the heading ' fault module name: ', google for the file to see what program it is. Uninstall, update or reinstall the program.

• Explorer stops and restarts.

  Windows Explorer stops and restarts when I right-click on a file or a folder, or when I try to delete a file or folder. A window will appear: "Windows Explorer has stopped working.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  There is likely an inconsistency between what is really there and what think the database is where and who must reconcile the two.  So beware of interference from antivirus software which can cause these issues (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

• Explorer Windows stops responding constantly and stops and restarts

  I have windows 7 and Explorer is constantly stops responding and then looking for solutions then stops and restarts. I don't know when exactly it started to do this but is real annoying and reached a point almost unusable.

  The event viewer will be your starting point. You will need to check your Event Viewer logs to see this error message is recorded exactly against incidents explore crashing. To find out what information is recorded in the event viewer and how to open it, you can read this article:

  Once you find errors in the event viewer, you can double-click it to see details on the error. There will be only a failed Module associated with the error, and which could give us some more.

  I saw this problem caused by Norton Antivirus. If you have running on your computer, you can disable it from the Norton Control Panel and check.

  You can also put the computer to clean the start State and see if any of the non - Windows Services running on the computer is at the origin of the problem. If the problem does not occur in the boot, you can activate these non-windows services one by one and see which one is the culprit. Here's how to Windows 7 computer in a clean boot state:

• What is the difference between the stop and restart?

  What is the difference between the stop and restart?  I feel that stopping closed all processes, completely erases RAM memory and clears the cache of the processor.  I need to know if 1) this is a correct assumption and 2) which is better for daily maintenance of the system.  Thank you in advance.

  Hello Jeremy_1976,

  Your support when the judgment is correct. Basically, it stops the process and completely turns off your computer. Reboot, however, temporarily your PC stops, then turn it on again. This happens usually when Windows updates are installed. After installation, the system is restarted (rebooted) so that any update has been successfully installed and works as it should. You can be a little mixed upward the reboot and the hibernation. Reboot is, as I have indicated previously, basically a reboot of your machine. Ultimately, your PC is on again after a reboot. However, hibernation, stores all data currently in memory in a special file, then the PC turns off. When you then turn on your PC, that is, coming out of hibernation, hibernation files is used to restore the status of the PC than when you initially put into hibernation. In other words all the programs you had open before will automatically open and be ready to use hibernation.

  Hibernation or sleep for that matter is for short-term use. It is normal in Hibernate, or sleep if you want to be away from your PC for half an hour or so. If you leave more than I suggest you stop completely.

  A point to remember about hibernation is that, if you use put into hibernation, you can't, once you get out after hibernation, install programs or updates. You have to stop and restart normally to do.
