  1. BSOD Reference Pointer


    So recently I've had the BSOD appear about 8 times over the past 12 hours or so and after reading through many other posts I still haven't gotten to the bottom of the crashes, and things like the event viewer didn't shed much light on the issue, what's more confusing is that before the issue started I'd had no major changes to the device such as system updates and when I did update the OS it didnt fix anything and it just kept happening. Does anyone have any advice?

    :)

    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.
