Instruction at "xxx" referenced memory at "xxx"... errors

[james0816]

Getting these messages quite frequently:

The instruction at "xxx" referenced memory at "xxx". The memory could not be "read".

Have looked at Microsoft's website and found nothing useful as to a solution.

Has anyone dealt with this before and can assist me?

Thanks as always.

Unfortunately, this is an all too common problem. There used to be a long thread in te NT forum (long since gone) about the possible causes. They ranged from printer drivers problems, RAM chip problems, bad spot on hard drive where the virtual memory file was loated, to a problem with a program.

Best bet is to reseat the RAM, if possible, first. Then do a file system check on your hard drive. Then try resizing your virutal memory file. Then uninstall and reinstall the "problem" program(s). If you have HP printers, try getting the latest drivers, too.

This in all is a common problem faced by the Microsoft product users.Kindly checkout the RAM modules if possible try cleaning the edge connectors of RAM and reinserting them back in the memory slot.Also if the problem persist kinldy checkout the microsoft documentation on HAL compatibality issue on the RAM.
