Basically what happens is that my desktop refresh's and the system tray loses its icons, not all the icons disapear, but the ones i am using like Bittorent Icons, Mirc Icons and many other icons disapear and also the any programs opened on the task bar disapear too. It really ANNOYING as i cant bring those icons back to the systray, and the actuall programs are still working as i checked in Processes in Windows Task Manager. What I find weird is that its just looking through windows explorer which triggers this off, it can be any folder and all of suddent the desktop refreshes and lists the error in event viewer.

Here's my solution to this problem. It works but it's not a microsoft solution so bear with me. Your OS panics cause AMDs handle memory a bit different I think. The program is called DEP so you just exclude explorer from the list of programs it checks and you won't have problems no mo'

Getting rid of explorer errors in computers with the AMD chip on board.
It'll leave you vulnerable to virus maybe but at least you'll be able to use your computer unless you are terminally stupid then you should have no trouble with it. If you are and prone to sue then forget everything I just told you.
1.click the Start button at the bottom left of your screen
2.click the Control Panel menu item
3.then double-click the System icon.
4.Click the Advanced tab
5.Find the item marked Performance right under there is a button that says Settings.
6.Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
7.You'll see two options in that window click the second option that says "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select."
8. when you are finished with that then click the 'add...' button it should be visable at the bottom of the box. then you have to find where the file 'explorer.exe' resides on your computer most of the time it's something like this c:\windows\explorer.exe anyway add explorer to that list. It'll give you a warning just ignore it and click ok. Then you reboot and if you try it everything should work just fine.
