Sorry if this sounds unhelpful, but we do not have a clue.

"The instruction at "0x<address>" referenced memory at "0x<address>". The memory could not be "read"."

Is a generic error message meaning that some software, somewhere has got it's pointers in a mess and tried to access memory it doesn't have any rights to. It's basically the same as the very old Blue Screen of Death.

Unfortunately, it isn't a helpful message as far as diagnostics goes, as it doesn't tell you even which process it was, much less which application started the thread.
It could be anything: video drivers, installation software, hardware fault - anything.

Sorry, but you are on your own here!
