HYPERVISOR_ERROR

What it means

The Windows hypervisor (used by Hyper-V, WSL, Memory Integrity and some anti-cheats) crashed.

Common causes

How to fix it

  1. Undo any overclock or undervolt, including XMP/EXPO memory profiles, and test at stock settings for a day.
  2. Update the motherboard BIOS if the maker lists a fix for virtualization.
  3. Uninstall old VirtualBox or VMware versions you no longer use.
  4. Test the RAM: run Windows Memory Diagnostic (search mdsched) or MemTest86 from a USB stick. Any error means a stick or its speed setting is the problem.
