Everytime I check the disk, Start8 makes explorer.exe crash via a failure in module ntdll.dll.
I figured this out after carefully booting in selecting which services are loaded and the one that caused the problem was Start8.
I have other Stardock software installed with no problems (Windows Blind and FXShadow).
I'm using a Surface Pro 3 i7
Here is the outcome of the event loguer:
