FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE

Windows found a single-bit memory error in a compressed memory page — the classic fingerprint of failing RAM (or, on some systems, failing video memory shared as system RAM).

Worth knowing: Hardware-leaning code: single-bit page corruption is a memory-hardware fingerprint.

Likely causes, most common first

How to fix it

1. Test the RAM seriously moderate

  1. Run MemTest86 from USB for at least 4 passes (Windows Memory Diagnostic as a quick first check).
  2. Disable XMP/EXPO and retest.
  3. Test one stick at a time; replace the one that errors.
