What does this error mean?

[racer243l]

So after playing Project Cars for about 20 minutes, my display froze, the sound kept playing normally and I heard my car crashing into a wall.

To get out of the game I needed to Ctrl+Alt+Del and open taskmanager and then this popped up

When my GPU is overclocked I got this error within minutes but what is this?

Is it only in project cars and/or when overclocked?  It's kind of a generic error (could have multiple causes).

It means the app tried to access a nonsensical address in memory.

Memory address errors alone don't really say much, or are you able to decipher more from it than that?

OP asked a question that required no more of an answer than that.

Understood.

I did look it up and it seems to be common for Cars.  Some people needed to turn down the settings or stop certain background tasks.  http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?21981-Unhandled-Exception-Trapped-Unable-to-Play

It only happens with this exact error in PCars but when using Factory OC Mode almost all games freeze but Not giving me any errors. This GPU is a replacement for the previous One which had the same issue just not as frequent. Is this One also defective? Or can it be something else?

I would try disabling factory OC then manually setting your overclock (incremental testing of the core/memory clocks).  Also set your power setting to performance in the nvidia control panel.

Thanks for the link. I had Afterburner running which seems to cause it

Yeah my custom much higher OC works just fine ? Kinda ironic ?
