Nothing can annoy a gamer more than the variety of mistakes that can accompany certain games. Moreover, each of the errors has its own reasons and solutions, and sometimes you have to spend a lot of time trying to find first, because of which an error has appeared, and then finding effective ways to solve the problem. One of the most unloved mistakes of gamers is Access violation at address, which can not only prevent you from trying out the next game, but also spoil the operating system itself. Naturally, you can reinstall your OS when this error occurs, but first it is better to consider other options that do not lead to such global measures as reinstalling the system.
Removal and installation
Often the Access violation at address error occurs when installing certain software, in particular computer games. And if you have this error, but it does not block the actions of the computer itself, then you still have a chance to save the information you have. Try to remove the installed program or game, but only through the control panel so that there are no traces of the stay in the system. After that, you can try to complete the installation again - this may very well help if something went wrong earlier. However, do not hope too much that this method will help. Of course, it’s worth a try, but be prepared for the fact that you may have to try harder to fix the Access violation at address error.
Problems with DirectX
In most cases, the Access violation at address error is caused by problems with the DirectX distribution. First of all, you should check the version of your program and update it if it is out of date. You should also try changing the Input and Output of your devices, and then return them back. The fact is that DirectX has a direct effect on audio devices, which can lead to serious conflicts, and they already become the reason that an Access violation at address error occurs. Therefore, you should be very careful to ensure that no device conflicts arise, because they can lead to irreversible consequences.
HDD
One of the least obvious causes of the Access violation at address 00000000 error can be in the hard drive. Indeed, few people will begin to look for reasons in the hard drive, and after all, a problem can arise even if you have a completely new and high-quality hard drive. However, it may happen that your hard drive is not compatible with certain programs or the functions that they perform. And in the worst case, this error occurs, which will be quite difficult to solve if the reason is really that. You will be lucky if you can cope with this problem without reinstalling the operating system and without formatting the disk. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to ensure that all programs are installed properly, so in this case, you can only hope for luck so that all the software you install does not cause any conflicts, and especially that you’ve never been visited by an Access violation error.
Special programs
As you already understood, this error means that there is a certain serious conflict in your system that you should resolve as soon as possible so that there are no sad consequences. Sometimes it’s very difficult to manually search for the cause, but delaying and stretching the process is unacceptable, therefore it is recommended to use special tracker programs that allow you to track the causes of such errors so that you can eliminate them later. Unfortunately, such programs do not solve the problem - they only find their reasons. But in any case, this is already half the work, so you only need to find a solution. Sometimes it is much easier than finding a mistake, because now everyone can access the Internet, where experienced people can give advice on any particular mistake.
System recovery or reinstallation
So the moment came when you despaired of finding the cause of the error or you found it, but you just can’t fix it. This means that the conflict was too serious, and you have to reinstall the operating system. Naturally, you should not rush - at first it is better to restore the system to a control point, of course, if you created it. It is very important that you periodically use the OS devices to create control points, which can then be returned to if something goes wrong in the system. There are also special programs that, according to a given schedule, automatically create control points, eliminating the need to always keep this question in mind and do everything yourself. Accordingly, before reinstalling the system, you can try to restore the last working access point and check whether the OS will function in this state. And only if this does not help, you will have to reinstall the system.
