[Solved] Kernel Data Inpage Error on Windows 10 (Blue Screen)

Regarding Kernel Data Page Error

"Kernel Data Inpage Error" is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error that indicates the kernel failed to read data from the hard drive promptly or correctly. This issue is typically caused by hardware problems, such as faulty memory, driver issues, or a corrupted page file. This error can result in loss of unsaved data or system crashes.

The following are the most common types of kernel data page error messages that users report:

• Kernel Data Inpage Error 0x0000007a: This is usually caused by hard drive errors, bad sectors, memory failure, or a virus.
• Kernel Data Inpage Error [Filename]: Sometimes, this error is triggered by a specific file that will be mentioned alongside the error message (e.g., Kernel_data_inpage_error ntfs.sys or Kernel Data Inpage Error ataport.sys). The filename given indicates the problematic software or device driver, suggesting you can resolve the issue by locating and updating or repairing the software or driver to get it functioning correctly again.
• Kernel Data Inpage Error with SSD/HDD/RAM/USB: Occasionally, your computer's memory could cause this error. Additionally, SSDs, HDDs, and USB devices might be the culprits. Typically, resolving the issue involves clearing memory or upgrading your hard drive/solid-state drive.
• Kernel Data Inpage Error due to Antivirus Software: The error message might also result from a conflict between your computer's memory and antivirus software like Kaspersky or Avast. While uninstalling the antivirus may solve the problem, updating your computer's drivers could also address the issue.
• Kernel Data Inpage Error on Windows Startup: If Windows fails to load, it could be due to startup applications or hardware malfunction.
• Kernel Data Inpage Error caused by a Graphics Card: A graphics card can also trigger this error. For instance, if you have an Nvidia graphics card, updating the driver might help resolve the issue.

If you encounter any of these errors and don't know how to fix them, don't worry! Keep reading for the solutions.

5 Ways to Fix Kernel Data Inpage Error in Windows 10

A Kernel Data Inpage Error isn't a hard issue to fix, but it can be inconvenient, especially if you're in the middle of a lot of work or an important project. Fortunately, there are several ways to fix a Kernel Data Inpage Error on Windows 10. Try one of the following methods:

Fix 1: Check and fix hard drive errors using CHKDSK

To address kernel data in-page error issues, it's recommended to check your disk for any errors or bad sectors. Let's see how to proceed:

Step 1. Insert the bootable disk or USB into the system and hit Enter to start the setup. Select your language preferences, and then click on "Repair your computer."

Step 2: Click on "Troubleshoot" and then select "Advanced options." In this settings menu, you'll see many other options. Click on "Command Prompt."

Step 3: When the Command Prompt opens, type chkdsk C: /r and press Enter. (Since Windows is usually installed on the C drive, we use the letter C here. If your Windows installation is on another partition, replace C with the appropriate letter.)

Step 4: Type Y and press Enter again to confirm. The utility will start scanning for errors, and if any are found, it will attempt to fix them automatically.

Step 5: Restart your computer normally and see if the kernel data inpage error returns. If you continue to receive this message after checking your hard drive, it could be an issue with your RAM (memory). Continue below to find out how to check it.

Fix 2: Run a virus scan

Another way to identify the exact cause of a “Kernel Data Inpage Error” is to run a virus scan. You can run one using Windows Defender Security Center:

Step 1: Click Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender.

Step 2: Select “Open Windows Defender Security Center.”

Step 3. Select Virus and threat protection > Quick scan.

You could also try using a different antivirus to resolve this issue. If that still doesn't help, the best course of action would be to immediately back up your data and then attempt the other methods mentioned.

Solution 3: Run SFC and DISM Scans to Repair Kernel Data Inpage Error

A "Kernel Data Inpage Error" can also be caused by corrupted files, which you need to locate to fix the problem. To find these files, run an SFC and DISM scan.

Step 1. To run SFC, you need to open the Command Prompt (for Windows 10/11, you can refer to Fix 1).

Step 2: Type sfc /scannow (without the quotes) and press "Enter" to begin the scan. You should see a message that says the scan has started. The scan should take around 20 minutes to complete.

Once it's done, you can check if it was successful in fixing your problem. If it did, great! If not, you'll need to move on to the next step – running a DISM scan. Here's how to do that:

Step 1. Open the Command Prompt as you did before, but this time type in dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (without the quotes), and press Enter. This process might also take some time, possibly even longer than the SFC scan. Wait it out until you receive a message that the scan is complete before moving on.

Step 2. Once the DISM scan has finished, restart your system and check if the issue is resolved. If everything went well, you should be good to go!

If the issue persists, run the scan again, or try the following.

Solution 4: Run Memory Diagnostics Tool to Fix Kernel Data Inpage Error

Defective RAM modules (erratic RAM) can also cause kernel data in-page errors. You can use memory diagnostic tools to check for issues, and if you're using Windows 10, you can do that by following these steps:

Step 1: Press the ⊞ Win key. Type Memory Diagnostics Tool in the search bar.

Step 2: Click on Restart now and check for problems (recommended).

Step Three: Run the diagnostics, which will take about ten minutes. If it finds any problems, it will fix them automatically.

Fix 5: Check Hardware Peripherals

One of the easiest things to check is your hardware peripherals to see if any might be causing problems with your computer.

Step 1. To do this, you will need to open up your computer. Turn it off, unplug it, and check all the cables connecting to the motherboard or hard drive for loose connections or broken wires. Fix as necessary.

Step 2: Next, make sure that all of your RAM sticks are seated correctly in their slots and functioning properly (if you have more than one). If any RAM stick fails to work when placed in a particular slot, swap it around until you find the slot it works best in.

Step 3: If it's safe to do so with the computer running, open the case again and gently unplug each cable from its socket, one by one, until you find the cable that causes the problem to go away or reappear.

Step 4: Lastly, if you have any USB devices plugged in, unplug them and restart your computer. Plug each device back in one at a time, and restart your PC after each insertion to see if any of the devices is causing the issue. If so, uninstall the device's software and contact the manufacturer to ask if they're aware of any known issues or bugs that could be affecting your computer's performance.
