KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR crashes on Windows 8: causes and patching technique

Need I say that the appearance of the so-called BSoD screen in any system is a bad sign? Let's consider one of the most common failures, when the description line KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR on Windows 8 is displayed. In addition to the reasons for its occurrence, several basic methods of error elimination will be given.

Blue screen with KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR error on Windows 8: possible causes and solutions

As a rule, failures that cause the appearance of BSoD, indicate a protective response of the system when there are problems with the "iron" components of the 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 fault code. If it starts from scratch, the failure refers to physical damage. Otherwise, it's a software-type problem.

Among the main reasons are the following factors:

• Began to "pour" the hard drive;
• There were problems with the operability of the memory slots;
• The paging file is not working correctly.

Accordingly, to eliminate the problems that have arisen, you can test and replace hardware or install special system parameters.

Error KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR (Windows 8): check the hard drive

First of all, you should pay attention to the presence of extraneous noise when the system is accessing the hard disk. If there is a grinding noise, it clearly indicates that the hard drive is about to fail. Therefore, it is better to copy the required information in advance to a removable media, and then replace the hard drive.

Programmatically, there may also be a KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR failure. On Windows 8, make sure of this and try to fix it easily. To do this, first run the command-line console on behalf of the admin with the appropriate rights (cmd in the "Run" menu), then use the chkdsk / r hard disk check command.

We test the memory slats

As for memory malfunctions, it is first necessary to apply a software method to identify the problem. You can use the built-in tools of Windows, but it's better to give preference to the free utility Memtest86 +.

If it reveals a problem, you'll have to tackle the memory stakes. On stationary PCs, they need to be removed one by one, then restart the system. If you delete any of the bars Windows will work fine, you need to replace it. But for laptops this method is not good (access to RAM is quite difficult - the device will have to be dismantled, and without special knowledge and technical skills to do this is not recommended). So you have to contact a specialized service center.

Changing the swap file

Finally, the problem of the appearance of a KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR failure on Windows 8 may consist in the incorrectly installed paging file size or its virus infection (which happens infrequently).

To solve the problem, you need to go into the advanced settings of the system, and then use the Performance tab, where you should disable the use of the swap file. After that, we reboot the system, go back to the specified section and set the file size definition in automatic mode. Then restart again.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it remains to be said that only the most common causes of the failure were cited here, which in 99% of the cases are related solely to "iron." According to some experts, the reason can also be in the emergence of antivirus conflicts with software and "iron" components. In this case, you can try to temporarily disable the security software and see how the system reacts to it. If failures are not observed, it is better to completely remove the antivirus and install some other package, preferably a professional version from Symantec. Web, ESET or Kaspersky Lab.
