  2. Reference_By_Pointer

    So far none of the suggestions work or are irrelevant to Windows 10 (latest updates included).

    Though plagued by frequent (+/- every 3 days) blue screen crashes (BSOD) with the error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and to date none of the suggested fixes able to overcome the problem, I assume that it is insurmountable for Microsoft and will thus just
    have to wait ...

    Now and since the latest upgrade/updates were installed, we have begun being hit by BSOD Error REFERENCE_BY_POINTER. None of the attempted solutions here or anywhere else have worked. We have

    twice crashed in three hours while working.

    This is happening on Dell Inspiron 3537 with 8GB RAM. No new hardware has been added. Is there a solution for this yet or will we have to simply grin and bear it as we have to with the nonpaged area error?

    REFERENCE_BY_POINTER BSOD

    Hello,

    I recently started encountering a "REFERENCE_BY_POINTER" BSOD after the last Windows 10 update. It happens randomly and I haven't changed any programs on my system so I do not know what the cause would be.

    I have uploaded both MSInfo and the DMP from the most recent crash to my OneDrive and you can access them from the link below.

    Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    Any help would be most appreciated,

    Thanks!

  4. BSOD "REFERENCE_BY_POINTER"

    Windows 10 Pro BSODs REFERENCE_BY_POINTER

    Dell XPS 9380, Windows 10 Pro x64 b1909.

    Over the last few weeks I have encountered occasional BSODs with STOP code 0x00000018 (REFERENCE_BY_POINTER),. Initially these seemed to occur primarily during shutdown, but over the last day or two they have become more frequent and occur at any time. I
    can find no obvious or recurring events in the System or Application logs that precede the BSODs.

    I have carried out the following, and will see if any of it helps:

    • Updated drivers via Device Manager (graphics, WLAN NIC, Intel Management Engine Interface).
    • Updated drivers via MS Update (Realtek - Extender, Intel System).
    • Ran chkdsk on the C: drive (OK).
    • Ran sfc /scannow - fixes made.
    • Ran dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (OK).
    • Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic (OK).
    I have collected together a few minidump files and the MSInfo32 data and uploaded them here:

    Please advise.
