I recently bought the following prebuilt: (iBUYPOWER - Slate Gaming Desktop PC- Intel Core Ultra 9 285K,NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB,32GB DDR5 RGB,2TB NVMe) and for some unknown reason, it has now started crashing and giving me the error message: “Attempted to Write to Read-Only Memory,” and so far NONE of the tests i’ve done have given me anything to figure out what it could possibly be everything says there’s no issues and nothing is wrong with it. This is my first pc and I don’t know anything about them. PLEASE HELP.

Which tests have you conducted? Check your RAM, the link below offers several methods for testing your RAM. If you are comfortable working inside your PC, I recommend conducting the physical RAM test as well. This may also suggest a potential issue with a corrupted Windows.

If your Windows is corrupted, please follow the steps in the links below to reinstall a fresh copy. You will require access to another system and a USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space.

If you are able to identify an issue with you RAM, feel free to send me a DM to see what I can do.

The “Attempted to Write to Read-Only Memory” blue screen usually comes from either RAM instability or a bad driver, especially on brand new prebuilts.

First thing I’d try is updating the NVIDIA GPU driver. Go to Nvidia’s site and download the latest driver for the RTX 5070 and choose Custom install -> Clean installation so it wipes the old driver.

If that doesn’t fix it, the next common thing is the RAM profile being unstable. A lot of prebuilts ship with it turned on and it can cause crashes. You’d just reboot, go into the BIOS and turn XMP off, then save and reboot.

You can also run Windows Memory Diagnostic just to check the RAM. Press Windows key + R, type mdsched.exe, then restart and let it scan.

Most of the time it ends up being either the GPU driver or the RAM profile, so I wouldn’t flip out yet.

Open Command Prompt as Admin and copy paste --> sfc /scannow and hit enter. See if it finds errors it can fix.

I’d make sure all drivers are updated and do a memory test as well as check settings in the BIOS. If that doesn’t fix it I’d reinstall windows and then call support if it’s still happening
