"_____" has stopped responding...

Which leads to Windows stops responding.

This has happened a lot recently, the problem got so bad (amongst other things), that I decided to reformat my hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows 7. It is still happening. As soon as any big program crashes (such as a game) it first makes the desktop lag, soon followed by Windows Explorer crashing. It wouldn't be a big problem right? Just stop Windows Explorer and restart it when I get the crash message... but once I press restart, it does restart, but it crashes as soon as I click, which happens again and again and again, and again.... And you get the point.

Any help would be appreciated, as programs crash quite frequently on Windows.

Since you already did a reformat, Try running memtest86+ and see if your ram gives you any errors. I've had similar issues while OC-ing that were ram related.
