I have a problem when trying to play any games on my computer. I have this error message "the instruction at "0x7c8ee0d7" referenced memory at "0x71ee0d4" The memory could not be written. I have never had this error message before when playing any game, but now its happened when trying to play Fear, BF2, SP:CT, Prey, Call Of Jurez Demo. I do not know why this is happening. As I have always been able to play games no probs in the past.

I have had no errors in memtest86, everything is running at stock and temps are fine cpu is at 33, Nb is at 41, my HDD's are at 40. :confused:

Did you install any new programmes recently?

New prog instalation or a windows update causing conflict in my opinion.
Are you using any emulation software or CD ripping software ?

The last application I installed was Lavasoft Ad-aware SE. (un-installing now)

I have Nero 7 and RecordMaxNow burning software installed, they have never caused any problems in the past, no emulation software on my system

Completed a system restore, same fault. Which makes me think that this fault is quite old, but never showed its ugly head until now, as I haven't been playing games for a while now. I am gonna have to go over everything thing that has been installed over the past 6 months including the MS updates

TBH I might have to do a format in re-install the OS, but I would like to know what has caused this problem, just don't know where to begin the RCA :confused:

PS can a mod re-direct this thread to the Windows area in Software, as I do not believe its an hardware issue

TIA
