Maybe it's a hardware problem. I would run a memory diagnostic and a hard drive
diagnostic.
Looking at the event log might be helpful, but I don't know if you can do it with
Explorer crashing all the time.
You could boot up in safe mode using command mode. That doesn't use Explorer, but
I'm not familiar with it and I don't know how to do much in command mode.
