Animal March 26, 2013 Share Animal March 26, 2013 You might be familiar with this bug. Recently my whole computer crashed after a Windows update and since I was running in Raid0 my hard drives failed and I lost all of my data. I was forced to reformat the drives and start over. Everything was fine reinstalling windows and this time I decided to backup my drives on one of my two 2TB HDD's. After the backup everything has been abnormal. Most processes run quickly but when things require windows explorer to run them they either take 10 minutes at a time to load or force explorer to crash after much delay. The only hint I have toward the problem is a notification that says "Explorer.exe server execution failed." Most of the common solutions I've found online require registry fixes which haven't worked, going into cmd.exe as an adminstrator and creating a new account which also was ineffective, or deleting my current account and creating a new one. The last one seems like it's the best option but since explorer refuses to run and crashes whenever I put any task to it, I can't even accomplish this task. It just freezes and eventually crashes. Fortunately my browser and basic programs still work but I can't run Steam games or access anything in the control panel. Any suggestions would be really helpful!

crasx March 26, 2013 Share crasx March 26, 2013 can you make a new account in safe mode or does the error still exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage March 26, 2013 Share ZeroDamage March 26, 2013 Sounds like it ma be a RAM problem. Could also be an issue on the hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal March 26, 2013 Author Share Animal March 26, 2013 yeah the new account was created in safe mode. now the computer takes about a minute longer to load, freezes when I right click the desktop, and can't even open any pages of the control panel.
