Windows 10: Reference By Pointer Error

Hi, my name is Nemo.

I got a new surface pro 7 on Nov.28th, and I got the blue screen error every time I turn on my device since I bought it.

The blue screen will not appear if I try to reboot the surface pro 7. For every time after I power off my device for a few hours, this error will occur when the device is power on.

Also, the stop codes of the blue screen were all the same one: reference by pointer


Here is the dumps file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhgdX23Nu4CpjFy2yHXwWv5zO3f2?e=5Y6m5G


Is there anyone can help me with that?


Thanks!

Reference by pointer error

Good evening,

I have been getting the error Reference By Pointer on a blue screen, then the system reboots. I can provide a minidump file, would someone be able to assist?

Thanks,

Pointers

Points are simply a value (address) that "points" to a value. It has no extra information about what it is pointing to (hence the danger). When using arrays/indexers, the operating system knows this is a collection that is this long and is of this type. Any operation that steps outside of those constraints is caught and handled. On the other hand, if a pointer so much as points to the wrong address, all the values will subsequently be wrong.

Pointers are faster but more risky.

 

Pointers

Incrementing a pointer is a...

address += sizeof(type)

...operation. If the type is incorrect for the data contained, it will encounter all kinds of logical errors.


The compiler takes care of incrementing a pointer--it's one of the few tasks that are indrectly managed in dealing with pointers.
