One of the most common Windows 10 errors associated with the Blue Screen of Death, known as BSODis the one that displays the message “Error Memory Management”, an error that, as can be deduced from its name, is related to the memory management what the computer does, whether because of a physical problem or because of a program stored in memory that prevents it from functioning properly.
Unlike other errors in which the computer continues to work without problems, this error appears in the form of a blue screen causing us to lose all the content we are working on if we have not taken the precaution of saving it periodically.
If you want to know how to fix this problem, we invite you to follow everything you need to do to find the source of the problem and fix it.
Memory Management Error: Solution
When Windows displays a blue screen of death, offers us detailed information about the problem, showing only brief information that gives us clues about where we should focus our attention to look for the problem. In this case, since it is related to memory, we will focus on this section.
Extract memory
If we have expanded the memory, the first thing to do is to remove it and test again if the PC works without problems. Blue screens are usually related to hardware problems, so if we have added new memory, this is probably the source of the problem.
Check memory
But if it doesn’t, that is, if we haven’t added more memory or replaced it, it’s possible that it’s a Physical problem
Windows includes an application that allows us to make a Windows Memory Diagnosticsso there is no need to resort to third-party applications to perform this task. All we have to do is run the application MDSCHED from the Windows search box.
Then we select the first option for the PC to restart and test the memory. Once finished, your PC will restart and a summary of the analysis will be displayed.
If the summary shows errors, it means it is time to replace the module indicated by the analysis.
Check file integrity
It is also possible that the origin of the problem is corrupted files of the system. To check our PC and fix this possible problem, we need to use the native SFC application from the command line using the /scannow variable as we show below.
sfc /scannow
To perform this process, we need to run CMD with administrator permissions.
Restore Corrupted Files
If during the previous process it was not possible to restore fileswe need to use this other command so that the computer downloads them directly from the Microsoft website and replaces the problematic one.
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Like the previous process, we need to run CMD with administrator permissions.
Run an antivirus
Viruses don’t only reside in files. We can also find viruses residing in the device’s memory, which is another reason why the computer may display this error message. In this case, Microsoft Defender It won’t be able to detect it, so we’ll have to resort to a third-party program that can scan the system via a USB drive, without loading the operating system.
