Having dealt with the generic errors, now let me explain how Memory_Management is one of the worst phrases that could be quoted to you by Microsoft in case you face a BSOD error on Windows 10. Well, it seems you’re right about the memory problem; the question now is, how do you solve it?
The first thing people often have to do when facing a PC mishap is to figure out the cause of the mishap so that they can correct it.
When it comes to Windows’ dark side, it seems that – when it comes to errors, at least – the possibilities are endless.
Here are some fundamental steps that one should take to find that particular memory management error: Here’s what you can do to rectify this problem.
1. Perform the Windows 10 Safe Mode to Fix the Memory Management Error
The first action that must be taken is to start Windows 10 in safe mode. ‘Safe mode’ is a very useful mode in Windows operating systems – when this mode is used, the system runs only the bare minimum of functions required for it to start up and for you to be able to work with it, not allowing any third-party software – including malware – to run in the background and potentially interfere with your work or cause harm in some other.
This action starts the OS with minimal loader and drivers and lets you see whether you continue getting the BSOD Memory Management error.
In light of the above statement, this effectively kills off most of the processes that the computer may not require.
If the memory management error stops, then you will be quite sure that it is not a hardware issue but rather something in the software, like a patch in an update or a driver.
If the problem is still present, then possibly you will have to replace some of the malfunctioning hardware. To boot your Window in Safe Mode, follow the following procedure:
- Open the start menu, use Win+R, type msconfig, and then click Enter.
- Spoon on Boot in the upper part of the screen.
- Select Safe Boot.
- Select Minimal from the list of the boot options.
Once more, exit Safe Mode and try the following: If you can boot Windows 10 in Safe Mode, do the following:
In that case, the best thing to do would be to review the most recent entries in your system logs as regards any errors and then go on to install one of the previous patches for Windows and reinstall all your drivers.
2. Windows Memory Diagnostic Simulation to help remove a Memory Management Error
You can also use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which tests your SDRAM and relays to you any issue it encounters or finds, provided it does find anything.
Safe Mode should be used in this step to avoid the BSOD problems that you have been facing. However, this requirement is after confirming that your computer functions properly in Safe Mode using the preceding process in Step 1.
- Open a Run dialog and type ‘mdsched’, then press ENTER or click OK.
- Choose Restart now, and the program will check for problems. It will tick off the problematic SDRAM and identify it on the list.
After this reboot you will get a report that either you are in trouble with your memory or not.
The meaning of the abbreviation ‘memory management error’ is associated with the memory of a computer, and the problem can be a physical one in the RAM installed.
This tool can help to identify if this is the cause of the issue, should it exist – Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.
When Windows restarts it is will inform you that something is wrong with your memory. If there is one, replace the RAM or get your laptop to the manufacturer for service if under warranty.
3. Fixing Memory Management Errors – Using SFC Scanner
SFC Scanner is a software of Microsoft, which is helpful in identifying different issues regarding the system and, apparently, running the tool has helped some users address the problem with memory management. Again, this step should be conducted in safe mode as was Step 1 and Step 2 above on this page.
- Open Cortana Search and type ‘cmd’, then in the right panel look for ‘Run as administrator’. If you alter some of the settings, you ought to be able to right click on the “Start Menu” and incite the “Command Prompt”.
- After the Command Prompt has started typing “sfc/scannow” and press the “Enter”.
SFC scanner will now scan your system for errors on disk that need to be fixed. It may also be for this reason that some users have reported that their computers become more pleasant to use if there was a complete scan, even though the scan did not turn up any threats.
Note: The scanning should be repeated about two or three times due to the possible instances in which one scan would not pick up anything or everything.
4. Seek out Software issues that induce Memory Management issues
Software issues are quite a bit harder to isolate. However, if the memory management error is relatively recent, then you could reverse some of the recent software installations to solve the error.
Some particular forms of software are associated with memory management mistakes. You can un-install and re-enable fresher software to check if that indeed resolves the problem of the BSOD or you can reinstall windows 10 although it can be considered to be the last resort.
Evaluating and fixing a software problem, or even a damaged file, might take some time, but it is by no means unjustified if you are still in doubt as to whether the problem is with the hardware.
5. To troubleshoot memory management errors, make sure you have updated graphic card drivers you are using.
The “memory management error” that could be found in Windows 10 can, inter alia, be caused by outdated or damaged graphics card drivers.
In this case, it is more reasonable, especially considering that the graphics card also possesses memory. In the event that you do not operate the most current version, this may help install updates.
If you have the latest drivers already then proceed to the “uninstall/reinstall” step on this guide. At other instances a driver is either broken or corrupt but it does not get noticed by any user. As you might imagine the drivers they offer will vary by your graphics card.
Windows 10 can tell you what you have your system equipped with, but it is bound to be either onboard Intel or just Nvidia or AMD.
A graphics card, on the other hand, is smaller in memory size than the onboard graphics but is external and is more easily affected by heat.
Typically, if you have changed some settings in a device, you can go to the manufacturer’s site and get a new version put in, so the machine can operate as it should again.
6. Make Changes to the Physical Aspect of the Computer to Fix the Memory Management Problem
Based on the discoveries made from the troubleshooting sprees, you might need to replace some of the system components. Indeed, the advances in the software and the advanced pc technology call for higher hardware demands.
If one is in a hurry to purchase new hardware for the computer, make sure that all components in the case are well plugged into their rightful positions.
There is a way in which you may have recently relocated your machine and connected one of the cables improperly, or hardware was disconnected, or maybe your components are dusty or greasy and, therefore, need cleaning.
Controlled Memory
If you have a machine of your own creation or if you just have an old out of warranty machine then its high time that you were shopping for some new parts to get your computer back in business.
This way, older devices fail to work on the newer Operating System version and PC components. Very often, it can be an opportunity to update graphics card, or the simplest – you need more RAM. If you have done all the above and still have the problem, then it will be a hardware problem.
