Yes, an SSD can lead to access violations.
It's possible an SSD could trigger an access violation, though your current checks seem solid. You haven't reported any issues with RAM or memory tests, and your Windows update appears clean. Adding a new drive like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB might introduce risks depending on its firmware and compatibility. Consider testing it in a controlled environment first.
Unlikely it would trigger an access violation. Yet, based on my understanding, the issue might stem from factors other than a defective H/W, like faulty drivers. SSDs typically come with standard drivers, so it’s unlikely they’d cause problems. I’d check alternative drivers for inconsistencies. Memtest only scans a limited part of the system; other components such as the motherboard or CPU could still have issues. Its accuracy in detecting memory errors is also limited.
Errors related to access violations usually stem from attempting operations on RAM that hasn't been allocated or has already been released (such as use-after-free issues). Record the address during the incident and then check its location. If the address consistently falls within a specific range, it indicates the chip's position in memory. For example, with DDR modules containing multiple chips per stick, maintaining a consistent address range helps identify faulty components. However, such messages often get mixed up with "Access Denied," which is more common in file system problems. If you encounter these issues across different applications or at various times, it usually points to a hardware fault like RAM or CPU problems—not a disk failure. Disk-related errors tend to vary from lock-ups to BSODs indicating filesystem corruption. Rarely, they might appear as error messages when another process holds the file open or when OS protection is active. Memory diagnostics won't detect failures caused by heat issues; they also don't stress-test the controller effectively.
Should i focus then on getting ram sticks and testing it out if it isn't the ram stick what are the chances of a fault CPU btw: Ryzen 5 3600 O and it happens in Every Game and its been bugging me for Months they simple close without warning me. I Believe its Access violation some apps say so or Event Log.
It seems the issue is likely tied to thermal management, possibly affecting CPU cooling. On AMD processors, the chiplet architecture complicates troubleshooting because components are spread across different areas rather than being centrally located.
I own a Dark Rock Pro 4 and think Thermals shouldn’t cause issues. I also tried the GPU RX 5700 XT at 70% fan speed—it stayed cool throughout testing and didn’t crash. The browser remains stable. Edited June 9, 2020 by Pakom More Info
Experienced with City Skylines and encountered a crash access violation (error 0xc0000005). Seeking guidance on resolving the issue.
