Needless to say, the appearance of the so-called BSoD screen in any system is a bad sign? Consider one of the most common failures when the description displays the string KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR on Windows 8. In addition to the causes of its occurrence, several basic methods for resolving the error will be given.
KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR blue screen error on Windows 8: possible causes and solutions
As a rule, failures that cause BSoD to appear indicate a defensive reaction of the system when it detects problems with the hardware components of a computer or laptop.
If the user sees a message on the screen that a KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR error has occurred, you should immediately pay attention to the error code. If it starts from scratch, the failure refers to physical damage. Otherwise, a software type problem.
Among the main reasons are the following factors:
- the Winchester began to “roll in”;
- there were problems with the performance of the RAM strips;
- the swap file does not work correctly.
Accordingly, the problems can be eliminated by testing and replacing the hardware or by setting special system parameters.
KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR error (Windows 8): checking the hard drive
To begin with, it is worth paying attention to the presence of extraneous noise when the system accesses the hard drive. If there is a rattle, creak, this clearly indicates that the hard drive is about to fail. Therefore, it is better to copy the necessary information in advance to removable media, and then replace the hard drive.
Programmatically, a KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR failure may also be present. On Windows 8, you can verify this and try to fix it quite simply. To do this, first run the command line console as administrator with the appropriate rights (cmd in the "Run" menu), and then use the chkdsk / r hard drive check command.
Testing RAM RAM
As for the failures in the RAM, the first step is to use a software method to identify the problem. You can use the built-in tools of Windows, but it is better to give preference to the free utility Memtest86 +.
If it identifies problems, you will have to deal with memory bars. On stationary PCs, they need to be removed one by one, and then restart the system. If, when you remove a bar, Windows will work fine, you need to replace it. But this method is not suitable for laptops (access to RAM is difficult to obtain - the device will have to be disassembled, and without special knowledge and technical skills, this is not recommended). So you have to contact a specialized service center.
Change the swap file
Finally, the problem of the KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR crash on Windows 8 may be due to the incorrectly set paging file size or virus infection (which happens infrequently).
To solve the problem, you need to go into additional system parameters, and then use the performance tab, where you should disable the use of the swap file. After that, we reboot the system, again go to the specified section and set the definition of the file size in automatic mode. Next, we restart.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it remains to be said that only the most common causes of failure were given here, which in 99% of cases are exclusively related to hardware. According to some experts, the reason may also be the appearance of conflicts between the antivirus and software and hardware components. In this case, you can try temporarily disabling the security software and see how the system will respond to this. If there are no failures, it is better to completely remove the antivirus and install some other package, preferably a professional version from Symantec, Dr. Web, ESET, or Kaspersky Lab.
