.exe files keeps crashing... Even Event Viewer crashes...

[Barry~~]

So as the title says, lots of programs on my computer keeps crashing, like audacity, audacity installer, event viewer, Spotify, (Basically lots of programs), though my chrome and file viewer still runs.

And I did run a system check on cmd too, what could I do next?

 

Oh, maybe I should give you a bit of info on my system:

E3 1230v2, Gigabyte H77-D3SH, 4 transcend 4GB DDR3 1600s, two SSDs and two HDDs, and a RX 570 graphics card, running windows ten with two monitors.

Can you boot into save mode and check if the crash still happening?

In Safe Mode, It did work and install. But when I got back to the normal system, it doesn't anymore. What steps could I take next?

You can try to re install windows (ok maybe not really that was the sign of some corrupted driver and since we don't know what is that at least rn this is probably the "easiest" way to do it) and ofc back your important data first 

With another drive if you didn't want the hassle and time it takes to download all of your system stuff and you basically good to go

Also don't forget to install driver for all the stuff you have after done that

ok fine... Seems like reinstalling is my only options then. Debugging is too hard. 

Thanks for the help mate, I'll reinstall when I finish my report

"all exe's crash" is almost certainly one of three:

a. Virus

b. OS files are damaged

c. CPU or RAM are "failing", not necessarily broken, but if say one chip isn't working, and it's in the 0-4GB memory space, where the OS would load first, there's probably some corruption going on.

 

It can also be the DISK failing, but this is not a typical symptom. Usually a disk failure will only fail the same thing repeatedly and only that thing. Where as a RAM failure early when the OS boots, will always fail the same programs if loaded in the same order.

 

 

But my money is on A or B ,in which case both REQUIRE you to reinstall the OS by first wiping out the hard drive. (eg repartition and format)
