Question about "Kernel Data Inpage Error" BSOD during gaming.
Question about "Kernel Data Inpage Error" BSOD during gaming.
Hey everyone, this is my debut post here, so I’m a bit unsure if this is the right spot.
Today my PC froze blue while playing Resident Evil 7. The error message read “KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR” or something like that.
This has occurred before—especially with Resident Evil 3, it would randomly freeze every 10 to 30 minutes during playback. I initially thought it was game-specific, but now it’s happening with Resident Evil 7 as well.
Many people say it’s related to memory or storage issues. I ran a check using cmd and disk management, and everything looked normal.
Any advice on what to try next would be greatly appreciated.
Specs: RTX 4070, Ryzen 5 5600X, 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM.
Execute a scan using .....crystaldiskinfo....observe the results regarding the condition of the disks.
Hello, and welcome to the forum!
The KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR occurs when a page cannot be read from the pagefile, and the UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION arises when an unexpected event occurs while accessing memory (RAM). The shared factor between these two is the RAM.
If the RAM is running at 3200MHz due to XMP/DOCP overclocking, I would first disable that overclock through the BIOS and check if the issue persists with the RAM clocked at its standard speed.
You have 32GB of RAM installed, so a memory test would take a considerable amount of time. Is this RAM a 2x16GB configuration? If yes, and if removing the overclock doesn’t resolve the BSODs, then remove one module and run with just the other for several days until another BSOD appears. Then swap the modules and continue running on the alternate stick for a few days until you encounter another issue. Make sure the single stick is placed in the correct slot (usually A2).
Also, please upload the dumps from C:\Windows\Minidump to a cloud service and provide a link here.
The RAM is 1x8 and it was overclocked with XMP to 3200. Should I remove one at a time?
I didn’t see blue screens on RE7 during my last session, but when I tried playing Dead Space for the first time, I encountered serious crashes after lowering my RAM speed (2133 native/normal) and once I experienced a disk write error on Steam. That situation matched what happened with RE3 (except for the BSODs in Dead Space, where I gave up after three crashes).
I checked some information and it seems memory issues could be related to the disk write error as well. This might be useful advice.

Thanks for the tips!
I believe you're referring to a 4 x 8GB configuration. Your RAM is clocked at 3200MHz, which matches its intended speed, but its native speed is 2133MHz. Please disable the overclock in the BIOS first, so it operates at 2133MHz instead. Check if this resolves the BSODs. If not, remove the RAM in pairs and test with just two sticks for a few days, or swap them and test again until the issue appears. Make sure the sticks are placed correctly (usually A2 and B2).
Hey! It’s been a while since my first post, but after moving the RAM several times I’m still facing the kernel error. I’m not sure if I’ve also encountered the store exception error after changing the RAM, but it’s possible. I’m concerned this might be related to one of my storage drives, so I’ll try some solutions. Do you have any advice or guidance for me?
I’ve been testing games and experiencing BSODs lately. Experts suggested checking my RAM and reducing its frequency, based on the stop codes, but the crashes persist even after those changes. They usually occur under heavy load. I ran a PowerShell command to locate the page file, which showed both the OS drive and the game’s NVMe drive. I’m using Crystal Disk Info to verify the drives are healthy, but I’m unsure what to do next. Any guidance would be helpful.
Sorry. Access is fixed.
Edit; Updated: Attempting to launch The Witcher 3 results in BSOD during save loading, with occasional crashes. Recently, both code references in the title appear to be present. Steam reports a disk write error when downloading files.
