Windows explorer keeps crashing...

[Mazza]

When i have my volume and network icon there ( It appeared when i ticked the volume box) but Win Explorer reloads and there's no netw/ volume icon. ( specs in sig)

And just to add, i tried upgrading RAM and computer died, got it fixed but has weird start-up. First i hit the on buttom, it turns on then it turns off, then turns on then i have to wait at least 2min before hitting Reset.

Please help

Test the assumption that Explorer isn't working due to a hardware misconfiguration.

Reset CMOS and reset the bios to your correct configuration and see if it cures the problem. If it does not, then look at your recent memory alterations, and re-seat the ram.

The wierd boot points to a misconfiguration or hardware failure. Disconnect all devices, ie peripherals Hdd's and DVD roms etc and test for a clean post.

Found the problem... my zune windows theme, so i'm on the ol' silver again


EDIT: Just crashed, but the weird thing is the this time it took until the 'network area connected' bubble to crash it, and that the netw. and volume icon go away

EDIT#2: fixed, it just was zune theme
