Svchost - Application error

Hi My system is showing up with Svchost.exe - Application error instruction at "0x00000000(not sure how many 0s)" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read" It started 2 days ago and i can't do anything once i got that message and i pressed ok. When i reboot my computer, everything seems fine. Please help me! Thanks

Hello litchking21st,

I see no one had welcomed you to the forum, so

I also read your HJT log. Not allot wrong and BHowett as usual did a great job looking after you.

I would not hurt for you to do a memory test from this link.

Windows Memory Diagnostic information

Keep us posted with results at hand.

kind regards,

What happened 2 days ago? Did you install something new? Since this was only 2 days ago, I might try a System Restore if your RAM checks out okay.

I think i might have fixed it yesterday when i did a manual microsoft update…. And also i didn't install new software except for avast home edition. I ran the memory test and there were no errors

lichking21th,

Glad you have corrected your problem.

That's a big "except"! Especially noting it is a security application, a type that typically sets hooks deep in the dark recesses of the operating system.

At any rate, I am glad you got it sorted out and thanks for the followup.
