"Windows Explorer" Crashing Often - before/after SP2

Asus x64 Vista Home Premium - checked for virsuses, sidebar disabled
explorer.exe set to high priority - nothing solving the issue. Checke
cpl files - the only possible culprit would be inetcpl.cpl based on th
dates. Even installed SP2 (about 20 minutes ago) - no help

The issue started around 7-25-09 and the computer was bought o
7-10-09

All I have to do is select the magic button (start button) and select
program like MS Word - and the little circle churns - then comes the po
up to restart windows explorer

This issue is frustrating - any help

Description (just prior to SP2 install
A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows

Test your RAM.

Since the computer is new, if the RAM tests OK I'd back up any data and
restore it to factory condition. If the problem persists, return the machine
immediately for a replacement.
