Various "Memory could not be written" Errors

Anonymous

I recently built a new PC. Every time I shutdown/restart I get the following errors - Error 1 | Error 2. This isn't just specific to these applications. I will get the same messages on several apps like OneDrive, Steam, WallpaperEngine, ect. First I tried running a memory test (memtest86), no errors with the ram I even put in some old ram I had and that did not fix the problem. I've tried running "sfc /scannow" in cmd with no errors. I also tried changing the virtual memory from a YouTube video I came across, nothing. Even did a clean install of both Windows 10 and 11. I've seen forums going back to like 2008 with this issue but no solutions have fixed this problem for me. Has anyone come across this issue or have any idea how to fix it?

    I did a complete clean install of windows 11 yesterday. I took the time to reinstall each driver/software individually. I discovered the problem was the Asus ROG ARMOURY CRATE software. I completely uninstalled it and used the Asus Aura Sync Utility and now my problem is gone. Below are the errors I was getting.

    Hi Aaron Stark, 

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

    It sounds like various "Memory could not be written" errors occured on your new built PC. The cause of these errors could be diverse: BIOS problem; Motherboard problem; Outdated or damaged graphics/sound drivers; System files are damaged; Virus infection etc.

    Would you mind to attach your pictures by Private Message so that I could provide you with more effective solutions. (Due to the internet limit, it's not avaiblable for me to check by the links.)

    Based on all what you've done to your system, the following steps may be tried further before I getting the details:

    1. Update all of your graphics drivers and audio drivers, and then check if the problem is still there.
    2. Check BIOS settings and motherboard hardware.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

    Best Regards,
