hi, was just wondering if you could help, when my pc starts up and eventually logs in, explorer shuts itself down after about a minute, and my whole desktop is blank and i have to run it again through task manager, it usually stays on afterwards but sometimes closes again.

any ideas? any help would be appreciated, thanks

Lets see if you have any errors in the event viewer.

• Go to Start -> Run.
• In the Box, type in "eventvwr".
• When the window pops up. Go to the system log and application log.
• Look for red circles with "X"s in them around the time of error.
• Once you've opened the error press the button to the right with the 2 papers on it. (under the 'down' arrow)
• Please attach the information you just copied onto your next reply.

Hello Crockerd,

Please follow these steps:

• Open the start menu and select "Run..."
• In the runbox type "chkdsk /f/r"
• You'll get a black box pop up. Type: "Y" and press enter.
• Your PC will reboot and will check and repair your disk.

DO NOT Cancel this!

After you've done that, toy around with it, try to recreate the error.
Does it still create that error?
(Note: Look in the eventvwr again after an hour or so.)

EDIT: I need to go to bed, I will check the post in the morning

Regards,
Olrik

Leave the house call, It won't do anything.
I'm affraid your hard drive is Dying.
I suggest you back up your data immediately and look for a replacing hard drive.
Try to run as less scans etc. on your hard drive as that will only damage it more.
