Oky im struggling with this for a few weeks now, so it's off to the pro's to help.

I hope the subject or title is correct, anyway i get this error 0x76b4d33d referenced memory
at 0xc4fbac3a randomly once or twice a day, i can't pin it on a certain action because it happens everytime on something else im doing, for example playing games, browsing the internet, browsing my own files, just looking at my computer screen and it even gives the error, any help will be appreciated

My specs is windows 7 ultimate
intel core i5 4670
msi gtx 760

If you haven't tried it yet, run windows memtest and see if something comes up. If not, and if the problem just started happening in the past few weeks, try restoring your computer to a previous date before the issue started popping up. It could be caused by a bad driver and if so, restoring to an earlier date should fix your problem. I can feel for ya, these are tough ones to track down. Also check the windows error logs, and see if an error is listed in them when these messages pop up. They might just let know what program was running when the error occurred.

I ran into this problem a while back when I was using Internet Explorer. What I found fixed the problem was running Internet Explorer as an Administrator and unchecking the Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > “Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks” option. Once I did that, I stopped getting those memory error messages.

The problem is i get the error more while playing games and just listening to music and doing nothing. When the error pops up all of the programs are still running and nothing closed due to the error, i don't know what app is causing this

If you got an error while running memtest, there's a good chance one of your sticks of memory is bad. I would remove all but one stick of ram and run memtest on each one to find out which stick is having issues and then when you locate the faulty stick, remove it, and then go ahead and install the rest of the memory in your computer and make sure it runs without getting any more error messages.

I have the same issue in Windows 7 64 with the *d33d errors indicated as Windows - Application Error.
It started after a Windows update for IE 10 failing to install, KB2898785, so probably the application causing the errors is Windows itself.
Now I have installed the same update for IE 11 but the error still appears.
I edited my register so it does not show up during gaming anymore but is still visible in Event Viewer.
Anyone with the solution?
