Question about Cnet Computers & Internet

1 Answer

Hello there, I got a BSOD saying that I had a KERNAL_INPAGE_ERROR. I had to reformat my operating system, as after that blue screen there was a "disk read error". I couldn't reinstall my operating system for a week, but I reinstalled in the end. But now, my computer often freezes, it is ok most of the time. What might my problem be, and how do I fix it? I'm just asking you incase you know what your doing with this. Thank you, Tom

    Hi yourtee1, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?

    I am quite concerned seeing that I supposedly asked this question today yet I do not remember making an account on here. I have changed my password but I very much do not understand how this has happened. What is also weird is I feel like I did ask this question only a few years ago...

A blue screen came up saying something about the memory module!

oh k..
so u mean whenever u start ur computer or whenever u work on it, it shows Blue screen...
This blue screen is called BSOD Error (Blue Screen Of Death)
It occurs due to several reasons but since u specified abt memory, this might be showing you Kernal Memory Dump, i hope..
Dont need to panic, try to start up computer in safe mode & restore it to previous known date at which u didn't had that problem..
It generally occurs after installing some new softwares or drivers that conflicts with the memory module.. so try to restore ur system else try removing ur newly installed software or driver...
Hope this helped u out..
Thanks....

Understand BSOD and Troubleshoot


1. What is Blue Screen Of Death ?

There are major reasons too for the blue screen of death as we find BSOD in Windows Vista for a different reason. Windows Vista runs on Longhorn technology while Windows XP runs on NT technology.

We have different Booting structures for both and also the Kernal and Micro Kernal Management of both systems vary.

The WDDM (Windows Device Driver Management Principles which applies on both Os are at different levels of rigidness.

Firstly, we need to understand why this happens.
When you install Software and new programs in your computer, new entries and other changes will be made on your Registry. As more and more entries pile up, some of them may become infected with spyware, or go missing because the System does not always restore them. As a result, when the programs that use the entries need to run, your computer may suddenly process very slowly, or worse, the blue screen of death happens. All these problems can be cured with a Registry Cleanup.
The amount of changes to your registry is dependent on the user's amount of usage of the computer. A newly purchased computer will usually run very quickly, but after a few months, users find that their Computers Processing Speed may start to slow down. This is the effect of a poorly maintained registry.

2. How To Trouble shoot and prevent of Blue Screen of Death?

So, how do we get rid of blue screen death? Simply put, run a registry cleaner. The registry cleaner will find all of the problems associated with the registry and will fix them or remove the errors. Don’t be surprised at the amount of errors you find the first time to scan the registry. But, within 5 minutes, you can have all of them fixed. Then for maintenance and to ensure your computer is running without any errors, run this software weekly. This will ensure you have the blue screen of death fixed.

Good Luck.

Blue screen on dell svc tag:GSKTL1S.Ox000000ED,0x8734D9EO,0xC0000006 how to fix this error?

Fine..You have reached the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD)..common in Windows Operating Systems. Generally this must be a hardware problem. If parts liek RAM or bad sectors in Harddisk, such BSoD comes, indicating the crash of the OS. Try repairing XP using the cd. If not, go for a format so that the bad sectors in the Hard disk is repaired.

Thank you!

Kernal stack inpage error

You didn't say what your doing when you get this error. It can be caused by many issues. If you have your xp cd and can boot to Windows, open Run type SFC /SCANNOW and let the operating system repair the Windows files. 

If this doesn't solve the issue more information is necessary to diagnose the problem

Hi received today a refurbished compaq 5000 nx laptop when first switched on i entered my wireless code and could access the internet, then computer said critical microsoft updates needed to download, when...

The black screen means that the Operating System is obsolete. The blue screen of ***** means that the Operating System is corrupted or you have a virus. My suggestion is to buy Windows 8.1 or 10, and do a clean install. This will wipe all the corrupt files and viruses off of the computer. After you install the new Operating System let Microsoft do all the updates. And make sure automatic updates is turned on. Hope this helps

Kernel stack inpage error

Hi Janhams,

Unfortunately the screen you are seeing has a name for it "the BSOD" or blue screen of death (click here for more info). by your description of the clicking sounds id say that it is an intermediate to serious hardware problem, but there are so many reasons for the BSOD that its hard to nail it down to just one.
That said the BSOD can happen because of conflicting software and/or hardware failures. Think back a bit and try to remember if you put any new software on the pc before this started happening. If you did, try uninstalling that software.

If the answer is no then:

If it were my PC as soon as i see the BSOD I would replace the RAM memory and wait to see if it happens again. You can find the RAM just inside the CPU its an easy job (couple of screws and your done) and i can walk you through it if you like.
If it did happen again I would reformat the hard drive and again wait to see if the BSOD shows its ugly head.
If you follow the two steps above and you still get the BSOD then you know that its a more serious hardware problem and needs some hands on maintenance by a professional.


If you choose to reformat and want to do it yourself please click on my profile and ask me How do i reformat.
