PCs are complex machines with a lot of components and it’s understandable that certain issues need to occur. That is why we come up with articles which should help you with these issues with multiple solutions carefully selected in order to get rid of problems permanently and efficiently.
“The Instruction at 0x00### referenced memory at 0x00###. The memory could not be written” – How to Solve?
This particular error message can occur with any application and it related to different parts of your memory. The hashes usually represent a string of numbers which refer to the location of the memory (RAM) fragment which is causing the issue.
Different problems occur with different apps but there are several solutions which might work for everything when you consider the fact that the real problem is sometimes in your computer’s components. Follow the solutions above and try out everything before giving up.
Solution 1: Graphics Card Issues
This particular solution usually depends on what type of application is causing this error message and you might need to use settings in order to avoid your graphics card from accessing the program at all. You can choose which graphics card can operate which program using your graphics card Control Panel. This particular fix is related to Nvidia graphics cards. If you own an AMD cards, you can easily find how to operate its control panel.
Note: If a video game is causing these issues, you might not be able to play it properly using your integrated graphics card. If that is the case, you can easily revert these changes and research online about that particular game or simply try other solutions in this article.
Solution 2: Updating your Microsoft .NET Framework
Microsoft experts have pointed out that using an application which was designed using Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and applying heavy memory load to it may cause the message “The instruction at “0x79259769′ referenced memory at ‘0x00000008’. The memory could not be read.” This can be fixed by downloading and installing the latest version of .NET Framework to your PC.
Solution 3: Disable Third-Party Audio Codecs
Plenty of users have been able to get rid of this issue simply by disabling third-party audio codecs and drivers (such as K-Lite and Realted audio tools). You don’t have to uninstall them completely but you can try this solution and check whether the issue persists. If you really need those codecs, you can try searching for an alternative.
Solution 4: Turn of Auto-Hide Taskbar
If the app which is causing these issues is explorer.exe itself, things may get more complicated because this app is pretty much responsible for the entire user interface. Explorer.exe usually presents these issues while restarting or shutting down your computer so it can get pretty annoying after a while. Luckily, there is a simple fix… Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode
Solution 5: Virtual Memory Issues
Virtual memory is a helpful tool which can improve your computer’s performance by providing a paging file on your hard disk which Windows can use as RAM when it runs out of real, physical RAM memory. Note that this virtual memory is nowhere near as fast as your RAM and increasing it won’t drastically improve your PC as if you were installing more RAM but it can help.
Note: The reason you choose the initial and maximum size of the paging file to be the same is because you don’t want Windows to grow or shrink the size of the paging file which can cause fragmentation and your computer to slow down. Defragmenting your computer regularly will also help improve the performance of your paging file.
Solution 6: Disabling Fast Startup
Several users finding themselves in a similar situation have managed to get the issue resolved after disabling the Fast Startup feature on Windows 10. While in most cases fast startup is a pretty harmless tool capable of boosting the startup speed considerably, it also means that your PC will never truly shut down. Because of this, you might experience Wake-on-LAN issues, dual boot and virtualization complications, and random error codes during the startup procedure. Keep in mind that it’s all guessing work by know – Fast Startup could have nothing to do with the error that you’re seeing.But in order to make sure of that, follow the instructions down below to disable Fast Startup:
Solution 7: Restart using the Last Known Good Configuration
If the error occurs at every startup, you were probably unable to follow most of the methods above because you experience a BSOD crash long before you reach that screen. However, several users have managed to circumvent the issue by booting using the Last Known Good Configuration using the Advanced Menu. To do this, restart your computer and press the F8 key continuously until you arrive at the Advanced Boot menu. Once you get there, select Last Known Good Configuration and press Enter. If all goes well, your computer should boot up normally without the referenced memory error. If the method was not successful, continue down with the next method below.
Solution 8: System Restore
Several users have reported that doing a System Restore back to the point before these errors started happening usually does the trick and that is why we recommend you try this if the previous methods have failed. System Restore will keep your personal files but it may uninstall or delete apps you installed or settings you changed.
Solution 9: Running the System File Checker (SFC)
System File Checker is a useful tool implemented in all versions of Windows which can search for missing or corrupted system files and it can either fix or replace them. This is quite useful when dealing with memory leaks and problems and several users have reported that simply running this tool has helped them solve the problem. sfc /scannow
Solution 10: Suspicious Browser Add-ons and Extensions
If you received this error message with one of your browsers in the title, you may have installed a suspicious add-on. Disabling or deleting them can differ from browser to browser but the process is generally quite easy. Microsoft Edge: Google Chrome: chrome://extensions/
Solution 11: Steam Game Problems
If one of the games in your Steam library is causing these issues, you should firstly research this game’s forum and maybe even start a thread yourself. However, one of the fixes which usually works for Steam games is verifying the game’s cache.
Solution 12: Scan Your System for Malicious Software
Viruses and other malicious applications are well-known for causing these errors and it won’t be long before everything gets worse. One of viruses’ well-known traits is its ability to reduplicate itself and spread itself throughout your system. There are a lot of great free antivirus scanners available online such as Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes: Anti-Malware.
Method 13: Resolving a Xeon specific processor error
There is one common 0x00000008 error scenario with one or more Intel Xeon processors, but the error message is a little bit different: STOP 0x00000008 UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP. There are three distinct scenarios that will trigger this particular error:
The Xeon processor requires a BIOS updateThe processor is damaged or defective.The processor is overclocked and is operating outside the save ranges of temperature and power
If you have an Intel Xeon processor, start by navigating to your computer manufacturer’s website and see whether there’s a more recent microcode update than the one you currently have installed. Microcode updates are packaged in BIOS updates, so installing the latest BIOS update for your specific motherboard should resolve the issue automatically. If you already have the latest BIOS update, verify whether the issue is occurring due to your own doing. If you previously overclocked the frequencies of your CPU, revert back to the stock frequencies and see whether the 0x00000008 error is still occurring. If the error is no longer occurring while the overclock is removed, tone down the frequencies until you reach a stable state. In the event that your CPU is not overclocked and you have the latest BIOS updates, it’s very likely that your processor is defective or damaged. In this case, it’s recommended that you take it to a hardware technician to verify whether the voltage is fluctuating and it’s causing it to behave erratically.
