hi so ive had this message a few times now when I go to shut down my comp..

"The instruction at 0x000000000201003 referenced memory at 0x000000000201003. the memory could not be written.

Click on ok to terminate the program"

What is my computers major malfunction? I need to re-shut down my comp after this error msg.. -.-'

I have a hunch you probably need to do this

Download the windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make an ISO

Mount that ISO in File explorer (see http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3579-iso-img-file-mount-unmount-windows-10-a.html)

In command prompt (Admin) copy/paste the command below and change the X to match the Drive letter assigned to the ISO)

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

Where "X" is the drive letter where the ISO is located. Simply change the "X" to the correct drive letter

where I got this command from...

can you look in event viewer and give us the full description of event as it may tell us more information about the cause.

I can find this error relating to games but not shut down
