Blue screen on Windows 8: memory management error - what to do?

Memory management errors can occur again and again under Windows 8. Here we explain what you can do about it.

Windows 8: This is what you do with memory management errors

An error message regarding memory management indicates problems with the RAM.

Therefore, you should first of all use an analysis tool, such as Windows' own Windows Memory Diagnostic
After you have downloaded the program, start it and install the analysis tool on a CD.
To do this, burn the ISO file that the tool makes available to you on a CD.
If you now insert the CD before restarting, you can start the analysis tool instead of Windows.
Windows Memory Diagnostic will then automatically perform the correct tests and should inform you whether and what is wrong with your RAM.
If an error is found, you may have to replace the affected RAM latch.
RAM bars are often located in double packs in the computer. It can be worth replacing both bars together.

If you are convinced that the problem is not with the RAM itself, you can also check the system.

To do this, open the command prompt. To do this, enter "CMD" in the Windows search window.
Be sure to start the command prompt as an administrator.
Then just enter chkdsk / f / r.
You will probably have to restart your computer for the system check to be performed.

Next, we will explain how you can test the RAM directly in Windows 7 for similar problems.
