Have you tried toggling off your antivirus and seeing if that works?

Memory error? What is the exact message?

" The Instruction at 0x00007FF8818AC750 referenced memory at 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. The Memory could not be read."

Oh, this one is a pain in the ass to troubleshoot.

Alright first, how much RAM do you have? Also what is your graphics card model? What version of windows are you running?

8 gigs of ram a gtx 1650 and windows 11

That's almost certainly the problem. 8 gigs is not enough for intense gaming these days, you really need to upgrade that. Preferably to 16 comfortably. Thankfully, its usually the easiest part to swap out, anyone can do it with google.

You can try and push it, but you'd need to close all background applications first, especially google chrome if that's running.

But there one problem with that theory it used to run just fine and even older souls games dont run and give a similar memory error

Ok, so we have a time window. Within the past week, have you installed anything new, or updated windows?

[Inverse]

i did update windows but not until after the errors started

[Inverse]

i also updated the drivers but once again not until the errors started

Do you have a spare RAM stick to try and plug into your system? I'm guessing not, knowing your spec, but it's probably reasonable to purchase one and swap it with your current one (even if it's 8GB too). It sounds awful lot like your memory stick is about to bite the dust.

i got this computer like 5 month ago for christmas so im gonna be pissed if the ram broke but ill try that in a few days
