A couple of days ago i randomly started getting this error when starting various different programs.
Error reads :
The instruction at 0x******** referenced memory at 0xffffffff. The memory could not be read.
The memory references are different depending on what program i am trying to run. I'd be using the computer for at least a few hours with no problems at all, went out to the local shop and when i came back the error started. Nothing new had been installed, downloaded, uninstalled or otherwise changed.
After a few minutes on a search engine the first recommendation seemed to be to turn off the error reporting. After doing this the error disappears but is replaced with a generic "This application has encountered an error" message instead for all the programs in question.
After that i then updated / checked all my drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled a few of the affected programs. the problem persists in clean boot mode but seems to disappear in safe mode.
I've also tried sfc /scannow and windows repair, I have run multiple virus scans / malware scans / registry checks in both normal, clean boot and safe modes with no results.
System Specs :
cpu : Intel i7 920
mb : Asus P6T Deluxe V2
RAM : Corsair Dominator 1866 DDR3 - 6Gb
GPU : 2x GTX275 in SLi
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Update : I've since applied all outstanding windows updates (there were only a couple) with no effect and removed, cleaned and reseated the RAM, also with no effect. Doing a memory test now, but after that I'm pretty much at a loss.
Update 2 : Memory test complete , 3 passes with 0 errors. Thinking of just formatting now
