I get it mostly when playing dayz standalone, but sometimes it's so bad it will do it every 10 minutes making it unplayable to me...

Anyone know why the hell I'm getting this error? I got it with other games too.

I'm using vista x64

amd fx 8 core 8320

gtx 660

asus le r2.0 mobo

1600 8gb ram

Windows Vista is a pretty old OS. Since your CPU is a AMD FX 8320, it may not be fully compatible with the Vista OS. AMD FX series processors have quite a bit different architecture compared to older AMD CPUs and Intel Core series CPUs. I suggest you to upgrade to at least windows 7 with all the latest updates or more recommended OS is an Windows 8.1 which has full optimizations for AMD FX processors.
The other possibility is that your machine may be virus infected. Try installing and updating the anti virus then do a through anti virus scan to clean any infections. Hope this will solve your problem......

hmmm...nobody gets this error? could there be a virus that can't be detected or some crap? I can't stand it when dropping over and over while trying to play games, especially dayz when you run and wait 30-45 minutes to find a person and dropping frustrates the hell out of me.

It says something about the memory being used for something that could be a virus or malware? 30 day trial of kaspersky says no virus and malwarebytes detects nothing, except when I play a game and it is multiplayer then it says blocked a potential risk but it doesn't find nothing when scanning..

ugh! Nobody can help :(
