Error codes

0xc0000005

Access violation

What it means

A program tried to use memory it does not own and Windows stopped it.

Common causes

• A bug in the app or a mod
• Overlays and injectors
• Unstable RAM

How to fix it

1. Update the program or game, and remove mods to test.
2. Close overlays (Discord, Steam, MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner) and try again.
3. Undo any overclock or undervolt, including XMP/EXPO memory profiles, and test at stock settings for a day.
4. Test the RAM: run Windows Memory Diagnostic (search mdsched) or MemTest86 from a USB stick. Any error means a stick or its speed setting is the problem.
