Error Message and Program Shutdown

I'm getting this error message- Vstudio.exe application error
Instruction at "0x0bsa7545" referenced memory at
"oxob2a7545" The memory could not be "read"

Then after I click OK, or the red "x" on the message, the program closes. If I try this several times, the program will eventually work fine. This only happens after I open a project, not after I open VS 10, but almost every time I open a project. Any ideas?

There are a number of possibilities:

1) That sort of msg is often an indicator of a fault which has developed or is developing in a RAM stick. Download a free RAM tester (there is one on the Microsoft site for instance, though I don't have the address). Let it run a few times to see if there is anything wrong with your RAM.

2) It could be just a temporary conflict -- indicating that VS and some other program are both trying to access the same RAM address at the same time. I occasionally get it, but find that turning off the program (not just VS does it), and restarting it corrects the problem. A reboot is the ultimate resort in such cases.

3) Does it occur with any project, or only one specific one? If the latter, it could indicate a problem within the project. Saving the project to another name might correct it.

4) More likely, though, it may be a conflict with another program running always at the same time as VS and always accessing that RAM address before VS manages to. This is one of the reasons we suggest that people ensure that as few other programs and processes are running in the background as possible.

Thanks Ken for the reply! I'll do the memory test tomorrow morning. There're not many programs on this computer since it's new, but you may be referring to the computer doing "maintenance" and other background stuff. The error shows up on any project that's opened within VS 10.... On my old computer, I set it up for an editing profile just as sjj1805 posted, and it really helped a lot. I'll have to do the same for my new computer, even with it's E6700 processor. I'll post back when I get some results....THANKS!!

I did the memory test as Ken suggested, and it showed no errors. Next, I renamed the project, and for whatever reason, the problem went away. The next step will be to set my new computer up for a video editing profile. Thanks Ken!
