Windows 10: Stopcode Reference by Pointer?

I'm a freshman engineering major in college and I got a Dell Precision 5550 for school. After spending over $2500 for the laptop, I expected it to run flawlessly and extremely fast, seeing the specs and the price tag along with it. However, about a few weeks into using it I noticed that my screen would freeze up only the screen, audio would still be playing and about a month into using it, I'm now getting the stopcode REFERENCE_BY_POINTER very frequently. I don't know if these are related but it seems they might be. I've tried to solve the problem using some online solutions but nothing has

:)

 

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.

Mouse Pointer

Hi,

You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
  
• Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
  Apply > OK.

If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
Browse.
