Windows 10: BSOD - Pointer Reference Error - Windows 10 - Dell Inspiron

Hi everyone, I need help solving an issue. I keep getting a BSOD with a Pointer Reference Error while working on my computer. I can't pinpoint what triggers the error, it seems to occur quite randomly. Though it does happen every time I try to install Dell Assistant to update the drivers as I heard this may be a potential cause of the problem. I have already tried: -Restarting -Running Scandisk several times it find an error, doesn`t say which and doesn`t say if it has been fixed or not -Running every hardware test available on boot the computer only says the battery life is fa

BSOD "Reference By Pointer" - Minidump File

Hello, I recently built a new PC (with the exception of an older GPU which I kept from my older machine). It's run pretty smoothly for the first couple weeks, but recently gave a BSOD with the error "Reference By Pointer".

I found
this thread which talked about potential memory issues, so I ran the Windows 10 Memory Diagnostics Tool and it found no errors. That same thread had a lot of people suggesting the OP upload the minidump file, so I did that too.

You can download the minidump file here.

Here's my Dxdiag as well, in case that helps.

A few of my PC parts can only be returned for another week or so, so any information you could provide to help me track down if any parts are busted and should be returned would be really appreciated.

Thanks, and let me know if I can provide any other info to help.

 

dell inspiron 546

I have just downloaded Windows 10 to a Dell Inspiron 546 with a Dell 810 All in One printer. The previous OS was Windows 7. I had downloaded Windows 10 because the Windows invitation assured me all was well for the download.

Having made the download I discover I can not print. The printer is listed in settings. It used to be the default device.

Can you advise the steps I should take?

Thank you.
