Troubleshooter of Error: Windows 7 Explorer.exe keeps crashing

Windows 7 Explorer.exe keeps crashing

Hello,

I have a Windows 7 x32 computer and my Windows Explorer.exe keeps crashing.
Explorer crashes even when I have a single explorer window open.

I've managed to get a .dmp file and it says:

This dump file has an exception of interest stored in it.
The stored exception information can be accessed via .ecxr.
(ac0.14b4): Access violation - code c0000005 (first/second chance not available)
eax=00000000 ebx=0372f040 ecx=00000400 edx=00000000 esi=00000002 edi=00000000

cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003b gs=0000 efl=00000246

Here's the link the the dump file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jbjsviagi1jfbxi/explorer.exe.2752.dmp

Seems like a memory issue.

Can anyone help me look into this?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Do you remember making any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

The possible cause would be because of
outdated video drivers, corrupt system files, virus or malware infection, faulty RAM, etc.

I would suggest you to follow these methods and check:

Virus scan: While Virus scan, Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

Clean boot: After troubleshooting, make sure to place the computer back to normal Startup Mode.

Also, some of your customized Windows settings may be lost through this process.
