    Stop code: Reference by Pointer


    Hi,


    I have encountered this error twice now.

    Stop Code: Reference by Pointer.

    What does it mean and whats its causes? It definitely happened after i updated my Win 10. Looked all over online but not really found a solution to this problem.


    PC specs just in case:

    Win 10 Pro, 64 bit

    i5-6200U 2.4

    8 GB RAM

    Nvidia Geforce 940M

    :)

    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.

    AW9D Stops At Post Code 56

    Hello

    I have AW9D motherboard

    Recently my NVIDIA GT8800 GTX video card died so i bought myself a GT220 card, lower spec but similar enough for me to expect it to be ok on this motherboard

    Installed the card and the machine cannot pass the POST sequence

    It stops on code 56. The AW9D manual has post code 55 and 57, but no 56 listed

    I am able to use the GTX 8800 card as an uninstalled VGA card, so i can view the POST sequence when the machine boots with this card in place. I can see the POST sequence 55, 56, 57 and so on, so 56 seems to be a valid code, just not listed

    I updated the BIOS (using the Abit Flasmenu utility) with the latest version of BIOS i could find on the ABIT site

    What i would really like to do is establish whether or not the problem is on the video card (and then i can return it to vendor) or if i have a problem on my motherboard

    If anyone had any pointers that would be great thanks

    Best regards

    Patrick
