This discussion on the GeeksToGo forum offers several possible
solutions. I would recommend starting with the one that says
to uninstall DivX.

Did my input resolve your problem?

It IS software related. Due to some badly programmed video codec, your
System receives the command to write something to an area of your
Memory that is reserved for something else (another application,
windows itself, ...). That's why windows stops this attemp to write
and pops out an error message.

You'd most probably will solve the issue by updating your video codec
or simply switching to ffdshow (get it at http://www.x264.nl )

memory reference errors, are pure software related.. 

IT is important to know where exactly u get this error message, is
while starting any application, using any application, while viewing
video clips or when us sign in to windows

Does it happen only once? that you can click on ok and then continue working ,

or does it present itself repeatedly
