[SOLVED] Games crashing and closing down (Memory could bot be read)

[Froggy_86]

Hi I am getting a lot of crashes while playing games and it throws up an error "The instruction at 0xf427d75b referenced memory at 0xa41b6630. The memory could not be read"

Can anyone tell me what this error is related to?

Specs

Windows 7
i7 6700k (stock speeds)
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3
MSI GTX 1070
Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR4 2133
Samsung Pro SSD

How old is your OS install? Any drivers/updates/software installed prior to the crashes happening?

Which PSU do you have?

 

[drivinfast247]

It's related to your memory and the lack of ability reading from it. Run memtest86 and see if any errors show.

OS was installed in summer 2017. Psu is OCZ-ZS550W.

I ran memtest86 overnight and got 0 errors. Clean installed latest GPU drivers using DDU. Updated drivers and Windows updates. Reinstalled affected games

Does this only happen in Fortnite?

 

[Froggy_86]

at the moment just Fortnite but I have had this error a few months ago in World of Warcraft

 

[Froggy_86]

Just formatted my drive and installed Windows 10 Pro. Installed only Fortnite and still the same thing happens. Not happening to anyone else in the house. Is this a hardware error?

 

[Barty1884]

If you've wiped the drive, then it shouldn't be software.

Where did you acquire your Windows ISO file(s)?

If Windows is legit & up to date... and the game is fine (which I assume it is, being Fortnite, we'd probably have heard if it were a widespread issue) that leaves hardware, yes.

I got it from the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool
