Isn't it quite obvius? You're dereferencing the pointer intptrholder with is
invalid
and then writes the adress of intptr to intinstruct, causing the GPF. Valid
version:

struct Intptrholder
 {
 int * intinstruct;
 };

int main()
 {
 int * intptr;
 Intptrholder intptrholder;
 intptrholder.intinstruct = intptr;
 return(0);
 }
