"Event name of the problem: APPCRASH" - what to do? How to fix APPCRASH error?

A personal computer is a wonderful invention of mankind. It allows us to play and chat with friends on the other side of the world, as well as view any currently existing content type. Unfortunately, everything is not so perfect.

Most often, the mood of users spoil all sorts of software failures, because of which the game or other application refuse to start normally. In particular, thematic forums often look for the name of the event of the problem: APPCRASH, which has long been poisoning the lives of users.

General information

To understand the causes of the error, you need to find out its essence. Unfortunately, in a concrete case it is practically impossible, because under this term there is no specific failure, but a whole series of errors. So what is APPCRASH?

If you use medical terms, then this is a kind of syndrome, which includes a whole set of miscellaneous failures. As you can understand, almost anything can lead to them. Let us consider the main root causes and ways to eliminate them.

Software "zamorochki"

Alas, but the seven-mile steps of the industry in the field of creating more and more powerful processors, increasing the amount of RAM and other "benefits of civilization" seriously lowered the incentive of application developers to optimize them. Simply put, if ten years ago the program easily fit on a floppy disk and had an impressive functionality, today there are cases when an application on 500-700 MB is a cut-and-dried similarity of a normal program.

In particular, a huge number of Net.Framework libraries and other "crutches" are used. Of course, the stability of this kind of application is a big question. Any modification of the configuration of both the computer itself and the programs on it can lead to a failure, after which the user is shown a dialog box of the form: "Event name of the problem: APPCRASH".

So if you notice that the crash with this error occurs just after the launch of a specific utility, it's worth trying to reinstall it, and in the absence of success, look for a more stable and qualitative alternative.

Viruses and Trojans

Yes, the advice about checking your computer for viruses looks very banal, but it does not become less truthful. Often the name of a problem event (APPCRASH) contains references to some missing components of programs or system files. Often in their disappearance it is the malicious programs that arbitrarily remove important system libraries. In this case, not only the banal problem of APPCRASH may manifest itself: in some cases you risk losing the entire system and all your user data.

"Repaki"

The love of our users for "free" programs is widely known. We will not discuss the moral and ethical aspects of the misuse of software, but simply caution its lovers.

Very often on torrent trackers you can find so-called "repack" games and programs. This is the name of the corrected version of the application, from which some components have been removed. For example, from a game, you can cut out videos with too much resolution, replacing it with more compact files.

We will not criticize the soul: often the creators of this kind of programs, in fact, are well versed in their business, but because the same games work no worse than their legal predecessors. But it often happens that the "extra" components that they removed are very important. Because of their absence, an APPCRASH error appears when the game starts. Tip: look for another source or buy a normal version of the application, with which such problems are not guaranteed.

Assemblies

In addition, a variety of misunderstandings can be attributed to the "assembly" of operating systems, which the Russian Runet is simply overwhelmed. Their not too experienced and happy users regularly encounter a whole bunch of problems (not just for all assemblies, but still). In this case, you will not be told the name of the APPCRASH problem event: Windows 7 (or any other version), being "modernized", no stability in principle.

Why is this happening? Everything is simple: creating another "masterpiece", which will be immediately posted on the tracker, the "collector" removes all the "extra" components from the system (using n-Lite or something similar). As you might expect, many of them are not. On the contrary, with disabled services and some remote components, the system becomes more susceptible to errors and falls.

Our advice is simple. Do not use "assemblies"! If you need to regularly install fully-ready systems on computers containing the entire set of necessary applications, it's better to use system images (from Acronis) or create your own assembly, including only the most necessary ones. We strongly recommend that you do not disconnect or delete anything, as the problems will not take long to wait.

"Iron" and drivers for it

In this regard, you can only envy OSX users from Apple. All products from this company are produced from a well-regulated list of components. Against this background, Windows users can only stray in the "zoo" of iron, from which their computers are assembled.

No, in most cases there is nothing wrong with that. You can upgrade your car at any time by adding a new motherboard or graphics card (not for laptops, of course), but you have to pay for it. In this case, often there are unforeseen errors when combining components from different manufacturers in the same system.

Often even experienced users can not figure out such sorties. I must say that the APPCRASH c0000005 error code is caused by the "iron" causes, so when you get it, you should think about whether you recently inserted additional RAM into your computer (or a new video card, etc.). If so, try to remove the new component and restart the computer. In case the reason really was in this, the error will disappear immediately.

The drivers are still worse. If you use some old components (a sound card, for example) together with a new hardware, then their drivers may well start to conflict, which will not lead to anything good.

In addition, problems often arise with new versions. For example, ATI and nVidia already had incidents when, due to errors in the code, the APPCRASH problem occurred, kernelbase.dll (system libraries) turned out to be incompatible with them. This often led to crashes on the "blue screen", and in some cases - even damage and failure of the video cards themselves.

Older versions of Windows OS

In our time, when almost every user can afford to buy a new computer or laptop, the use of old versions of "Windows" is gradually becoming a secondary concern. More and more important is the constant updating of the system's versions, due to which the "retrograde" becomes less and less.

But there are still a lot of old computers running Windows XP and even earlier versions. Most often they do not have problems with them, but they can start when new versions of programs and drivers are released. Very often old systems are incompatible with them.

In this case, the signature of the problem (the name of the problem event: APPCRASH) will contain references to missing dlls or other components of the system.

Update your OS!

A variant of the case described above can be considered a situation where the system installed on the user's computer is a real rarity in terms of a complete lack of updates.

Among our users, in some unknown way, the belief spread that updates are a "bad whim" of developers, and that there is no real benefit from them. Alas, this is far from being the case. The patches really eliminate many problems, add compatibility with new standards and components. In any case, it should not be abandoned.

As you can guess, especially this is true for XP, but Windows 7 without Service Pack 1 is more prone to crashes and errors, not to mention security problems.

Let's sum up the results

So, what to do, so that this error does not spoil your life? Everything is simple enough. First, try to use legal versions of programs that will not have problems with activation and activation. Secondly, in any case, try to install only the latest versions of the operating system on your computer. Believe me, this will save you a lot of time and nerves.

In addition, in any case, do not give in to the widespread misconception recently that an antivirus is not needed. Alas, but without it, Windows users nowhere. If you do not care about the occurrence of the "Event name: APPCRASH" error, think about the possible loss of all your data.

Once again, we remind you that in no case should you use "assemblies", since for the saved time you will have to pay with the general instability of the system. If you use old iron, then visit the manufacturer's website regularly. It is possible that there will be new versions of drivers that fix compatibility issues.

Do not unplug the Windows Update service. Best of all, when it works in automatic mode. This will prevent a lot of problems. In particular, you will not only see the error messages less often, but also make your computer much more resistant to virus attacks.
