Windows 10: PC Stopped Booting Up: Attempt To Write To Readonly Memory. iAstorA.sys Failed. Windows 10.

After using a new computer for not even a week, it stopped booting up. At first, while recording some console game footage via a capture card, my PC entered a restart loop, giving me bluescreens directly after booting up, even before I was able to log in again. The most common error message I got was: "Attempted Write To Readonly Memory." -- "What Failed: iAstora.sys". I am using Windows 10.


After a few hard resets, I received the message "Preparing Automatic Repair" during boot-up, and in the repair menu I tried to do a system reset...which did not work and gave me more error messages. I also tried booting up Windows 10 from a USB stick and reinstalling it, but after sitting on a black loading screen with the blue Windows logo for a few minutes, it gave me another bluescreen. I am unable to give the error message here though, as I did not take note of it and I am unable to get to this point anymore, as I am now stuck in a long loading screen if I try this again. After sitting on this loading screen, the PC automatically restarts and attempts booting up again (which obviously does not work).


I have a feeling this might be a hardware issue instead of a software issue, but might as well give it a shot.

Attempted write on Readonly memory

Hi guys,
Today I forgot to shut down my computer before leaving for few hours, upon returning when I tried to log in,
I got a blue screen with the error "Attempted write on readonly memory".

Computer restarted and the same error again, this happened 3 times, then I shut it down manually and let it be idle for a few minutes. After this everything got normal(its been 10mins now).

Is this random/common ?
You see I use to get lots of blue screens until I got my RAM replaced, which fixed the problem. My replacement arrived a few days ago and today this happened, could it be possible that the blue screen I got today was due to the replacement ram ?

Thanks
PS I use windows 10

 

Windows 10 BSOD: Attempted write-to readonly memory

My specs:

OS: Windows 10 April 2018

CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 (working at @3.2ghz not OC)

MOBO: Asus Prime B350 Plus

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 3200mhz 8gb (2x4)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB

Components were bought in August 2017 and I have installed the latest bios update.

Sometimes I get this BSOD "Attempted write-to readonly memory" when I'm about of 80% RAM usage, it happens when I have many tasks or when I'm playing a video game at high settings which requires lots of RAM.

Steps I've followed:

* Search for updates through Windows Update

* Reboot after updates

* Run a memtest (It says everything is OK)

* Checked the disk through CHKDSK command

DUMP File of my latest BSOD: 061518-18109-01.dmp

 

Attempt to write readonly memory [BSOD]

Hi,

At random periods of time, I keep getting the "Attempt to write readonly memory." Windows are freshly installed.

I have tried several things:

1) Ensured that all my drivers are up to date;

2) Verified my RAM using windows memory diagnostic tool;

3) Re - plugged hardware components to make sure everything's as it should be.

You can find dump files here

Any help will be appreciated!
