so for about a year now i have been having issues with windows randomly crashing with "attempted to write to readonly memory, i was wonder other than drivers what else could cause this? i have tried uninstalling drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled the amd gpu software and still the same thing happens and just randomly sometimes i can use it for weeks and have no crashing and others it crashes every 10 mins its truely annoying and am at a loss of what to do short of reinstalling windows something i dont plan to do right now as i have nowhere to back up my work at the moment. if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

also these drivers look sus but aren't sure what they are for anyone know?

SPECS :
x470-f asus rog strix
32gb ddr4 3200mhz kingston hyperX fury ram
rx 6600
ryzen 9 5900x

i get that but with the problem i am having that may have to be the way forward. i mean i am looking for answers that could point me to a solution that does require me wiping my drive and having to source a back up drive for the moment, if i had the cash id just go buy a drive or better yet build a new pc and just copy my work from this one using ftp. google doesn't seem to have too many answers it appears most commonly it would be a driver issue but as stated i have tried removing all drivers and windows will reinstall what is needed and nothing. i even upgraded from 10 to 11 to see if maybe upgrading would install something that maybe was missing or corrupt but nothing.

Yes, I get that you are trying to "fix" this install.

But happening on 2 different OS's, leads one to think hardware, or their drivers.
How did you do the Win 11 Upgrade?
i went through the windows update tab and upgraded when it gave me the option. i just went through some of my old pc stuff and found a drive old hdd 500gb i dont know the quality of this drive but i am going to back up as much as i can in case things go sour witht this install. really just dont want to lose my video projects or my blender work as i started doing a recreation of an old game and really dont want to start over remaking the models and rigging and maps i have completed for my first game project
