MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

What it means

Windows found a serious error in how memory is used. Most of the time the RAM itself is the problem.

Common causes

• Faulty RAM stick
• Too aggressive XMP/EXPO or memory overclock
• A driver writing to wrong memory

How to fix it

1. Undo any overclock or undervolt, including XMP/EXPO memory profiles, and test at stock settings for a day.
2. 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.
3. Test one RAM stick at a time to find a bad one.
4. Open Terminal (Admin) and run sfc /scannow, then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. Restart afterwards.
