Windows 10: Applications Crashing With Error 0xc0000005

Hello,I am about at my wits end. I have tried a billion things to fix this error and it will not go away. Things like Discord, Spotify, Steam, Word, even the Windows Search bar on the bottom left have crashed from this error.Things I've tried:Memtest86 - 4 passes 0 fails in 9 hoursWindows Memory Check - 0 errorsCHKDSK - No errors3 DISM Commands - No corrupt sys filesSFC - No errorsClean Install of Windows wiping all data from both of my drivesRegedit AppDll 1-0 and 0-1XMP On/OffUpdating DriversReinstalling Graphics Drivers after using DDU to completely uninstallReinstalling DriversReflashing B

Various applications crashing, mostly from error 0xc0000005


KScorp, did you ever find any solution to this? I've been having the same problem for a while now. I too have the issue mostly when gaming (GTA5, BF4) I should try other games too. The crashing is pretty random as well. I thought I had it fixed today because I played GTA and BF4 for about 3 hours total with no crash. Then it suddenly crashed while I was in GTA5.

Things I have tried:

• Run Memtest86, for over 24 hours. (Did this twice, no errors)
• Microsoft Memory Diagnostic (No erros)
• Tested all HDD's for bad sectors (all were good)
• Uninstalled/reinstalled Nvidia drivers with DDU (still crashes)
• Uninstalled Nvidia drivers again and moved GPU, a GTX 680, to different PCIe slot (still crashes)
• Ran OCCT PSU test for 3 hours (nothing crashed)
• Ran Driver Verifier to ensure driver integrity (ran for 16+ hours, no BSOD from misbehaving driver)

Things to try still:

• Flash BIOS to updated version
• Reinstall Windows 10 (this was happening with Windows 7 before fresh install/update to Win 10 so I don't think that was the issue)
• Any other suggestions
• Smash with hammer

 

Random apps and games crashes with error 0xc0000005 and blue screens

Since the end of July 2019 my apps and games (including windows services) have been crashing randomly, the windows event log lists these crashes with error 0xc0000005, here's an example for the game Verdun (other apps and games crash with the same error):

Faulting application name: Verdun.exe, version: 2019.2.4.15146, time stamp: 0x5d65bc48

Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x00003ffca4ea3081

Faulting process ID: 0x1760

Faulting application start time: 0x01d5859441ddbe1a

Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WW1GameSeries\Verdun\Verdun.exe

Faulting module path: unknown

Report ID: 47476bd7-22fa-4760-b22b-07598c183ba1

Faulting package full name:

Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have also been having random blue screens with the errors PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

I have used windows Driver Verifier and I managed to get some blue screens that point to the clipsp.sys driver but I don't think the content of the blue screen contains everything meaningful.

The crashes do not seem to happen in Safe Mode.

In the past months I have tried almost everything:

• Clean boot
• Updated windows to latest version
• Used all tools to check integrity or corruption like sfc, chkdsk, ecc.
• Clean reinstalled windows multiple times
• Replaced RAM modules
• Replaced motherboard

The crashes still happen. Since I have no idea what is causing these crashes my next step will be replacing the CPU...

 

Various applications crashing, mostly from error 0xc0000005


Hi!

Various applications are crashing at seemingly random times. The most common culprits are video games (in my case, GTAV and JustCause2), but various windows executables also crash.

The most common exception code which caused the crash is 0xc0000005. Other codes pop up from time to time as well, such as 0xc000000d, 0xc0000409, 0xc0000374, or 0x80000003.

The time between crashes varies wildly. Sometimes a game will crash 3 times on start up. Other times it will work for 4 hours straight. Sometimes the computer is working solidly, other times critical applications hang, forcing a restart with no log of the event. Some games never experience a crash, while others love to do so. For example, XCOM hasn't crashed once in the 30 hours I've played it, while JustCause2 crashed about ~10 times in 5 hours of gameplay.

I've attached all the application error events that have occurred since I switched over to Windows 10. (I switched over on Aug 9 in an unsuccessful attempt to fix this issue, so all the logs before then are currently hidden away in a backup. But don't worry, all the logs before then are more of the same.)

I would appreciate any help to diagnose the cause!
