Tried running a the scan command on cmd

Didnt work

Tried another solution with powershell

Didnt work

Should i just reinstall windows since im getting a 2070 super next week and i will need to ddu my old 650 drivers and i usually reinstall windows every 3-4 months to get the best performance

Or is there a simple way of fixing it?

Does the explorer crash regardless of the drive you browse? Crashing could be sogn of drive or port failure.

Doesnt matter what drive it is

If its the boot ssd or the other 2 drives

It usually crashes when i left click on something.

Sometimes i boot my windows 7 from my hdd but i dont get this error of explorer crashing in the middle.

can you check the event view?

And

As weird as it sounds I have since issues where the gpu is at fault. Your cpu has an igpu so an easy test would be to pull out your gpu and do some standard things see how it goes

Well its not the GPU or being that there is less power without the GPU I don't think it's the PSU either.

And

You ran you the commands as stated above..?...

 

Did you discover anything in the event viewer?

im trying it now again

i dont really know where to look in the event viewer 

can you tell me exactly where to look?
