Windows 10: Error! Illegal memory address

Hello,

I am trying to run an old pc game on my laptop. I’ve changed the graphics to suit the old game, I’ve downloaded DirectX but an error keeps popping up “Illegal memory address”.

Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it please?

cuda error - an illegal memory access encountered

I have a P106-100 Graphics card which crashed halfway through mining.

When I now run the miner software I get "cuda error - an illegal memory access encountered"

I have rebooted my PC and I still cannot resolve the issue.

Is my graphics card knackered ? is there a way to reset the memory (I am assuming somehow the memory is not being refreshed after a device power off)

 

BSOD Memory Addresses

Alot of times the issue is a bad device driver that mishandles memory and so windows shuts down to prevent eh driver from overwriting some part of the active pages of other processes as there is no alternative.

If you post the whole error or the dumps sometimes you can just look at the memory address the fault occurred at, and the look through the process list to see what was using it, and what tried to access it.


If it is a hardware failure then you CAN use memtest X86 or X64 to diagnose that part, and you CAN run certain tests on your CPU, however som eof the advanced functions may not be in ANY test, such as the decode part that may be used for specific instruction sets causing corruption of items processed.

However Occam's Razor, and we have a simple driver, software or misconfiguration error.

 

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
