Ok, so heres the back story, my current PC's Epox 8RDA+ MB fried on me a few months ago and was under warranty. I finally got it replaced and put it back into my Antech Sonata case, while booting the computer for the first time, the Antech PS shot fire out of its arse. Got a new power supply, and Ive loaded windows on my new HDD 3 times.
Heres the system spec
Epox 8RDA+
Athalon XP 2500+
2 x 512 crucial PC2700
Radeon 9700Pro
WD ATA100 74gb 8mb HDD
Maxtor ATA133 30gb HDD
Lite-On 16x DL DVDRW
After I get through patching to SP2 I begin loading utilities... every time I get through all the utils, Windows explorer crashes and doesnt load. If I log off current user and log back in, explorer will load, but it wont off of a boot.
Heres what Im loading on.
Nero 6.x
Daemon Tools
Windowblinds
Desktop X
Winpatrol
Azereus
Java Runtime
Radeon Catalyst Drivers
CDisplay
Fast Stone
Firefox
WinRAR
Acrobat
Nvidia Nforce2 Driver
I think thats it.... Ive been using Windowblinds and DesktopX for about a year now, and Ive configured them for multiple systems. I know the problem points to them for whats going on, but I havent gotten the system to the point that I want to run an image off of and burn it to DVD (Ghost still the best utility for this?)
Could it be my copy of Windows is whats causing me the issues? Ive used this copy a few times (only on the computer I purchased it for of course) But it seems to be flaking out on me...
(Just a quick update, finally got the thing working by eliminating Windowblinds/DesktopX and it worked fine for about 3 days, then I loaded my Logitech Bluetooth Wireless desktop on it, and bam! same problem, it boots and explorer crashes. If I log off current user, end program on Explorer.exe and log back in, Explorer loads fine.)
What could be making this system unstable? Im fully updated on Windows.
