[SOLVED]: Windows 10 ‘Kernel Data Inpage Error’ Blue Screen

Summary: Have you encountered the blue screen of death with the Kernel Data Inpage Error? If yes, your system is at a serious risk. This blog explains how to fix this error and recover the data lost due to this error. In addition, you’ll find about a powerful ‘data recovery software’ that helps you recover data lost due to any logical reason.

[SOLVED]: Windows 10 ‘Kernel Data Inpage Error’ Blue Screen

The Kernel Data Inpage Error is a Windows error code, shown on the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). Usually, when this error hits your system, it compiles some diagnostic data and restart. In case this issue exists for longer, your system will crash and you’ll see the Kernel data inpage error message again.

Kernal data Inpage Error

The Kernel Data Inpage Error, also known as ‘Stop Code’, occurs due to serious software or hardware problem. The system ‘force stops’ the OS as a defensive measure. And, you’ll end up seeing a Blue Screen of Death.

  • What are the Possible Causes of Kernel Data Inpage Error?
  • How to Fix the Kernel Data Inpage Error?
  • Conclusion

How does the Kernel Data Inpage Error Appear?

When your system hits with this error, you’ll see a message on your screen, which goes like this:

Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and we’ll restart for you.

If you’d like to know more, you can search online later for this error:

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

What are the Possible Causes of Kernel Data Inpage Error?

The Kernel Data Inpage Error is caused when Random Access Memory (RAM) or hard drive has some problem.

System Issue - Kernal data image error

Moreover, here are some additional codes in reference to this error. You can see which one is responsible for which error:

  • 0xC000009D: Loose cables or hard disk failure
  • 0xC0000185: Unseated or damaged cables
  • 0x0000007A: File access errors
  • 0xC000009C: Bad hard drive sectors
  • 0xC000016A: Bad hard drive sectors

How to Fix the Kernel Data Inpage Error?

Here are some methods that can help you to fix the error easily.

Warning: Before moving to the fixes, you must backup your data right away. Since the chances of BSoD reappearing is high, you might lose your data and other critical information, files, and folders.

Intel Processor

Note: In case you have already lost your data or the drive is corrupt, you can use a reliable data recovery software to recover the data.

1. Inspect the Hardware Connections and Wires

First, you’ll have to check system internals for loose connections. Next, you need to inspect the hard drive SATA cable and power supply cable for a solid connection. Moreover, you can disconnect and reconnect the wires if that is required. Next, you must inspect the RAM by detaching it from the slot and re-attaching it. Once that’s done, boot your system. But, if this issue remains, you must head to the next methods.

2. Inspect the Hard Drive

There are three ways to inspect the hard drive:

a) Check SMART Disk Information

You can use tools, like CrystalDiskInfo to check SMART info. If the results show that the drive is unhealthy with impending failure, we suggest you take instant backup or clone your drive on a new SSD or hard disk drive.

chkdsk command

Source

b) Run CHKDSK

CHKDSK utility can easily fix quite a few issues with hard drives, such as minor file system errors, reallocating bad sectors, and corruption. To run CHKDSK scan, open the elevated command prompt window and type the command given below:

  • Chkdsk/r/f X: and press ‘Enter.’

You need to replace ‘X’ with your drive volume/partition letter. Also, you’ll be able to run the scan even if the partition is corrupt or inaccessible. But, in case the partition is not visible, you’ll need to open the Disk Management tool and assign a drive letter to the RAW partition before running the chkdsk scan.

c) Use Stellar’s SMART Drive Monitor Utility

You can download the Stellar Data Recovery Professional software that comes with a SMART Drive Monitor utility to analyze the disk’s health (like bad sectors). If you found some critical anomalies in the disk stats, you can use the Clone Disk Option to clone it instantly and recover the data. You can recover almost any file type with this software.

Stellar Data Recovery Professional

Watch the following the video to know more:

3. Clean Boot

Begin by disconnecting all the unnecessary connected peripheral devices from the system, such as the printer, external storage media, and Wi-Fi modem. Then, follow the given steps to perform clean boot:

  • Turn off your laptop or computer.
  • Turn it on and press the F8 key continuously until you see ‘Advanced Boot Options’ on the screen.
  • Move the selection to ‘Safe Mode with Networking’ using the arrows and press Enter.
  • Now, log in to your system and press Windows + R.
  • After that, type msconfig and press OK.
  • Go to the ‘General’ tab and hit the Selective Startup radio button.
  • You’ll need to uncheck ‘Load Startup Items’ here.
System Configuration > General > Selective Startup > Ok
  • Now, go to the ‘Services’ tab and click the ‘Hide all Microsoft Services’ checkbox.
  • Hit the ‘Disable’ button, displayed at the bottom right, before restarting your computer or laptop.
System Configuration > Services

4. Restore BIOS Default Settings

Invalid settings or misconfiguration in BIOS could also be the reason behind KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. So, if you want to confirm whether the BIOS settings is causing the error, you’ll need to reset the BIOS settings to default by following the steps given below:

  • Switch off your computer/laptop and then switch it ON by pressing the BIOS key. You can do that by continuously pressing F2 as the system begins to boot.
  • Now, enter the BIOS settings.
  • After that, choose ‘Reset to Default’ or ‘Setup Defaults’ (or any other similar option displayed on the screen) in BIOS Settings to restore the BIOS configuration.
  • Now, restart the system and check if the Kernel Data Inpage Error is fixed or not.

5. Uninstall Third-Party Incompatible Software

If a software doesn’t belong to a trusted source, it can lead to compatibility issues, resulting in BSOD errors. Hence, you’ll need to uninstall such a software, which is creating the Kernel Data Inpage Error.

To uninstall the software you may have installed recently, you can go to Control Panel > Programs > Program and Features.

Programs and Features

Now, check the ‘Installed On’ date and proceed with uninstalling the software.

6. Remove the Hardware

Have you recently made any changes to the hardware of your laptop or PC? Or upgraded a hardware component? If yes, you need to remove that component and even check the device drivers for all the hardware components you might have installed lately. Once that’s done, update the drivers (if outdated) and re-install the damaged/corrupt drivers.

7. Run Antivirus and Malware Scan

Use ‘Windows Defender Tool’ to scan your system for viruses and malware. However, if you have installed a third-party antivirus tool with an active subscription, you can run a full system scan to find out any virus or malware in the system. After this, you’ll most probably fix the error or find out the spread of the virus, at least.

Security at a Glance

8. Disable, Re-install, or Update Device Drivers

You can check hard disk drivers to find out whether there is any corruption or damage. This can simply be done by following the steps mentioned below:

  • Press Windows + X keys and choose ‘Device Manager’ from the given options in the list.
  • Now, expand the Disk Drives and right-click on the hard drive.
  • After that, click on properties to see whether the device is working fine or not.
Update Driver
  • Go to the ‘Driver’ tab and uninstall the driver if it is unable to work properly. You can even click ‘Update Driver’ to install the latest driver update. Moreover, you can even download the hard drive drivers from the official website to install them.
Searching Online Drivers
  • Once you have installed the drivers and updated them, restart your laptop or computer.

9. Execute SFC Scan

You’ll need to run SFC, also known as System File Checker scan, to repair corrupt, damaged, and missing files. For that, you’ll need to follow the below-mentioned steps:

  • Type cmd in the Windows search bar.
  • Now, right-click on the Command Prompt and select ‘Run as Administrator.’
  • After that, type SFC in the command prompt window. And then hit Enter.
  • Once the SFC scan is done, you can reboot your system.
System32> Run cmd Command

10. Check RAM

There are two ways of doing that properly:

a) Use the Memory Diagnostic Tool

You can use the RAM troubleshooting tool, known as ‘Windows Memory Diagnostic,’ provided by Windows. Follow these steps:

  • Type ‘Memory Diagnostic’ in the search bar.
Windows Memory Diagnostic
  • Now, click on Windows Memory Diagnostics.
  • After that, click on ‘Restart now and check for problems (recommended).’
Restart Now and Check for Problems

b) .MemTest86

You can also use MemTest86, a popular standalone testing tool for RAM. The best part is that it uses 13 different testing algorithms to test RAM. We recommend this reliable tool for diagnosing DDR4 and DDR3 memory on your laptop or computer. You’ll be able to fix all memory-related issues.

11. Automate Paging File Size Management

For automating paging file size management, follow these steps:

  • Start by going to ‘Control Panel,’ where you’ll find a ‘System and Security’ option. You need to click on ‘System’ here and then on ‘Advanced System Settings.’
  • Now, click on the ‘Settings’ button under the ‘Performance’ option.
  • After that, click on the ‘Advanced’ tab.
  • Then, you’ll need to click on the ‘Change’ button under Virtual Memory.
  • Click the ‘Automatically manage paging file size for all drives’ checkbox and then click the OK button to save the settings/changes you made.
Virtual Memory
  • Restart your laptop or computer.

Conclusion

That brings us to the end of ‘how to fix the BSOD error code Kernel Data Inpage Error.’ When you see this error message on your system’s screen, you can try one or more fixes that we mentioned in this post. And, once the error is resolved, you can check all your files and folders for integrity.

In case you see that some files are missing or maybe the drive is heavily corrupt, you instantly need a robust data recovery tool, like Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Windows to recover the data. Moreover, try replacing the damaged drive with a new one to avoid such concerns in the future.

      Hello, if you have bought a laptop recently, then you should contact your laptop vendor and get it fixed or replaced. The issue might be logical or physical. One more thing, if you have stored any data on this laptop, then take a backup of your data before handing it over to the vendor. Thanks!

      Usually, a timer is displayed on the Blue Screen page. However, if it doesn’t restart automatically, you can force shutdown it using the power button and then turn it ON after waiting for at least a minute.
