ive been having problems with my pc since i upgraded my mobo,ram, and cpu.
i finally got my display drivers working properly, but now when i play a game, it crashes a minute or two of playing and i get an error that says

"The instruction at 0x00007FFE0A7270B8 referenced memory at 0XFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. The memory could not be read.

Click on Ok to terminate the program"

this happened on squad and battlegrounds now.
My specs are:
ASRock AM350M Pro4 board
Ryzen 1500x
Rx 470 4Gb
8Gb crucial ballistix DDR4 2400mhz
 


What problems did you have with Graphics card drivers ? this sounds like you are still having problems with it to be honest.

You can have a look here and see if any of these help: http://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/instruction-at-referenced-memory-could-not-be-read/

 
my game was crashing and saying the displayer driver failed but was recovered, or my games will just crash out to desktop with no error messages. i can only think my PSU isnt strong enough for this cpu, i have a EVGA 430W.

BTW i unistalled all display drivers and redownloaded fresh from AMD site
 


I dont think its the PSU, although it is a little low, have a look here and add everything you have, see what it recommends, an RX470 doesnt draw that much power, http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/

I just added your CPU, RAM, motherboard and GFX card to that calc and that came to 278w, dont know how many fans or hard drives your running etc, not even 100% sure a weak PSU would cause the issue your having, defo sounds driver related, or possibly bios related, are you on the latest bios ? also, do you have the latest chipset drivers installed ?

 
Yeah I believe everything is up to date. I possibly might have fixed it or squad, I was running games through CPUCores from steam and that's hen I would crash. I load squad directly thru steam and it played. Not sure about battlegrounds or any other games ATM I'll check after work
 

okay im still having problems with my graphics drivers i guess. i got a BSOD last night and my pc kept rebooting on its own, and i also had a display driver stop working but recovered. should i just go and take my motherboard back to the store and get a new one? its been nothing but headaches since ive upgraded
 


When you changed to your new system, did you format your drives and put a freswh copy of windows on ?
 


yes i formatted my drive and installed a fresh copy of windows, im thinking about doing it again actually or taking my motherboard back and exchaning for a new one if i cant get this resolved
