[SOLVED] What does this BSOD error message mean?

Today I received the dreaded BSOD with a crash error while playing Classic WoW. I haven't had this issue before and the only changes I made to my PC today were installing Afterburner (now uninstalled) and Open Hardware Monitor (still installed, have no clue how to uninstall it...doesn't show up anywhere obvious). CPU and GPU have been running at ideal temps while gaming. Any suggestions?



Error: "This application has encountered a critical error.

ERROR #132 (0X85100084) Fatal exception!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86) World of Warcraft\classic\Wow.exe

ProcessID: 13232

Exception: ACCESS_VIOLATION

The instruction at "0x00007ff648eac0e2" referenced memory at "0x000002def0642590".

The memory could not be "read".



BSOD (first time): Stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

BSOD (second time): Stop code: PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA

BSOD (third and last time so far...): DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL



Since these issues I've uninstalled any 3rd party programs I didn't recognize, uninstalled/reinstalled the game, uninstalled/reinstalled graphic drivers, cleaned out PC hardware. And yet this issue happens while playing.



Comp specs:

AMD FX-6300

Radeon R9 270

12g RAM

Windows 10

Sounds like a memory error
