explorer.exe - The memory could not be read. On shutdown/reboot

I plugged this pc and formatted disk in uefi.

13900K stock

2x16 GB DDR5 GSKILL 6800

Rtx 4090 Gigabyte Gaming

Aorus Elite Z790 AX

SSD KINGSTON 2TB

Seasonic 1300W PX ATX 3.0 PCIE 5.



Today i rebooted pc by shutdown button in start menu and this popped:





explorer.exe - application error

The instruction at 0x00007FFD4938C34B referenced memory at

0x0000000000000008. The memory could not be read.









Is my pc stable? I dont oc pc,all stock.Should i check RAM BY KARHU RAMTEST? I have win 11

Since it's a new machine, for peace of mind I would definitely test the ram. I know nothing about KARHU as most everyone here uses Memtest86 with 4 passes. However, this error could could also be related to other causes as well such as graphics card/driver. I would use these instructions to gather the necessary logs and dump files. Zip the files and upload the zipped file to any cloud provider (Onedrive, dropbox, googledrive, etc) Provide a shared link in this post so @zbook or one of the other guys experienced in analyzing logs can check them out for you.

I closed all background programs and then shutdown/reboot no more that error. Maybe it was some conflict or i have bad hardware?

Before jumping to the worst case scenario I would like to point out that we very recently had a few Windows updates that could as well be the cause.
I saw the exact same message on shutdown/ restart last night (first restart since the configuration update), I had left MSI Afterburner running when I shutdown.
I ran some tests and found that with no other software running the message didn't appear once in 5 shutdown/ restarts, with Afterburner left running the message occured 3 out of 5 other shutdown/ restarts.
This machine is used for some pretty memory/ graphics intensive workloads and has been/ still is perfectly stable.

Most often these application errors can be ignored.

Ah ok thank you.It happened once just.
