Recently, I've experienced several BSODs in some games, some of which use kernel-level anti-cheat, and others that are just regular games like
Monster Hunter Wilds
or
Baldur's Gate 3
, which don't even use kernel-level anti-cheat.
The BSODs have consistently been memory-related, and the crash dumps indicate that a corrupted bit was found in memory. These crashes usually occur about half an hour into gameplay, or right after closing the game.
The attached text contains the latest BSOD with the error
FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE
.
I’d like to point out that I’ve already run tests to check for Windows corruption and performed
MemTest86
with 4 passes.
I am pretty much desperate, can you understand the problem please?
FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE (12b)
This BugCheck indicates that a single bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
I've encountered multiple BSODs. Please share your .dmp files so we can review them. The host mentioned files stored on a service similar to DropBox, and direct a link in this thread.

You didn’t specify the PSU make and model. If the PSU has been in use for some time, please note its age. BIOS version for your motherboard?
I’ve had several BSODs in certain games—some involving kernel-level anti-cheat, while others are standard titles like
Monster Hunter Wilds
or
Baldur's Gate 3
that don’t require such protection.
Where did you obtain the installer for the OS and games? Which version of Windows 11 are you currently running?
Hello, I'm currently outside my home, so I can't provide full details. For the PSU, I completed some tests and everything looks good; I'll add the information today. On other matters, I purchased a new PC two months ago, so it's brand new. Concerning the BIOS, I'm up to date with the latest versions since I already suspected this might be the issue (I'll update later). Regarding the OS source, I can't share details because I bought the computer from a technician who provided an unactivated Windows copy that I activated myself. For the Windows version, I was aware that recent builds caused problems with games using EAC or kernel-level anti-heat, but a patch was released and installed. Still, I'm unable to fill in these specifics as I'm currently outside, though I'm using the latest Windows. To try resolving the issue, I considered using an insider version, thinking it might be an OS update. Thanks for your response. This is the minidump file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18DFrAYT...p=drivesdk
Restore all bios configurations to their original state and turn off any XMP functionality.
The dump shows a clear memory read error at a specific physical address, confirming a RAM issue. I observe that your RAM is overclocked to 5600MHz, which may not match the certification for that speed. It’s best to turn off the XMP profile so it operates at its original (SPD) rate. For DDR5 RAM, this usually means running at 4800MHz. If it remains stable at that speed, you might be overclocking excessively. Please remember that your CPU specifications state Intel only ensures stability with RAM up to 4800MHz for the i5-14400F. While some i5-14400F chips can handle higher speeds, there’s no certainty about performance.
Hello, I checked the BIOS and noticed XMP wasn't turned on. I set the RAM speed to 4800MHz but it still crashed.
It might relate to stability concerns in raptor lake. This issue was more frequent on i7/i9 processors, leading to crashes under heavy use and resulting in a recall. It's possible i5s could also be impacted.
