  • Click Save changes to save and exit.

See if the issue is resolved. If you are still getting the error, try next solution.

Solution Two – Run Windows Memory diagnostic tool and System File Checker

Run Windows Memory diagnostic tool

  • Press Windows logo key and R simultaneously on the keyboard to invoke Run command console
  • In the Run command box, type mdsched.exe, and press Enter
mdsched
  • In the Window Memory Diagnostic window, click Restart now and check for problems (recommended). This will restart the PC immediately and the Windows Memory diagnostic tool will run at the restart.
restart now
  • If you don’t want to run the memory test immediately, select Check for problems the next time I start my computer
  • When the Windows restarts, you will see Windows Memory diagnostic tool running and checking RAM for faults. You can see the progress of the memory test on the screen along with errors that are detected. Wait for the program to finish.
memtest running
  • When the system reboots after running Windows Memory diagnostic tool, you can see the errors found (if any) in the log file.

If there are any errors greater than 0, you have to change the physical RAM Module. If the Windows Memory diagnostic tool does not report any errors, you can conclude the physical RAM is in good condition. In that case, check the system files by following steps given below.

Run System File Checker

Corrupt system files could be one of the reasons behind the faulty hardware corrupted page BSOD error, so you need to run system file checker to resolve any issues. The System File Checker command line tool checks the integrity of all protected system files.
