Reinstalled the 2010/2015 versions for both 32 and 64 bit.
Samsung SSD, Rapid mode is not enabled.
Memory read crashing still persists.
Win7 Ultimate
GTX 1060 6GB
i3 8350k
16GB DDR4 RAM
Same issue with windows 7, tried many fixes, still persists.
I think it is a bug in code, no real workaround.
So guys, I don't know if I actually fixed it but I was able to play all last night without a single crash for approximately 3.5hrs! Again, this may not work for everyone, but this is what I did for my system and it seems to be running okay, i'll be playing a lot over the weekend to truly see if it's fixed.
My system specs:
Windows 7 Pro 64
Intel i5-760 OCed to 3.8ghz
16GB DDR3 XM3 RAM 1333Mhz
MSI Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4GB
1. The first thing I did was to CLEAN install the new Nvidia Drivers which were released on 2/13 (418.91). I did not install the Geforce Experience.
2. Performed a FRESH install of APEX Legends, making sure to completely delete all saved information.
3. Disabled Origin In-Game options as well as added the +fps_max command in the advanced launch options for Apex. I set mine to 100 because, why not?
4. Once in game, I set my VRAM to 6GB or the HIGH setting as I have my video settings all high except Sun Shadow Coverage, Sun Shadow Detail and disabled volumetric lighting and dynamic spot shadows.
5. Once I made all of those changes, I exited the game then went to the R5Apex.exe file in the Origin Games folder and made sure to set compatibility mode for Windows 7 and to Run as Administrator.
6. I then restarted my computer and launched and crossed my fingers!
RESULT: 3 1/2 hrs of uninterrupted gameplay!!!
I will continue playing throughout this weekend and immediately update this post if I experience any crashes but it is waaaaay better than it was before. I would experience a "Referenced memory could not be read error" probably 2 out of every 3-4 games, typically on launching from ship at the beginning of the game or at a random point in the middle of a match. So with 0 crashes in 3 hrs, I'm hopeful.
Hopefully this is useful to some of you as this game really is a LOT of fun and I hope they fix these issues soon with a patch. Best of luck out there!!

Glad it's working for you so far, @JMUTowlee !
Can anyone else confirm these steps work?
I've seen multiple players mention fixes for the following:
it so up and down, its infuriating... Sometimes i can go all day without a crash and then sometimes i crash for like 8/10 games. Its beyond a joke. Was about to win a round 3v1... Taking a quick phoenix kit after the last fight .... CRASH... Sort ya game out FFS. Crashes like this constant garbage shouldnt be in a game that outside of BETA testing.
