As the title says it, my computer crashes in safe mode.
I began experiencing severe issues today in the normal mode of windows. Windows explorer continuously crashed over and over. (I had not installed anything for about a month excluding CCleaner) What would happen was, I would log in, it would be booting up a few programs and such, then a few seconds later the computer would lock up and freeze. I was unable to close any programs or open any. Then windows explorer would crash and i would be left with a black screen and a moveable mouse. This kept happening over and over. At times i could not even get into the log in screen.
Then i tried safe mode and began removing some unrecognized programs and old things i dont use. Since they all moved into the recycle bin i tried highlighting all the programs and it crashed again.
I suspect this is a memory issue or a harddrive issue. When i attenpted to do a system resotre it gave me a error stating that the C:/ drive had issues.
What ive tried:
•Using last known config
•Built in hardware test
•Clearing the startup folder
•Leting the computer completly cool down
What i cant try:
•virus scan
Because:Computer crashes before it can complete scan
