Solution Steps
- 1 Press Windows key + R, type 'mdsched.exe', and press Enter. Choose 'Restart now and check for problems'. This runs Windows Memory Diagnostic to test your RAM for errors. Bad RAM can cause this error, and this tool will tell you if that's the issue.
- 2 Open Command Prompt as administrator (Win+R, type 'cmd', press Ctrl+Shift+Enter). Run 'sfc /scannow' to check for corrupted system files. This is a standard first step to fix any Windows corruption.
- 3 Run 'chkdsk C: /f /r' in the same Command Prompt. You'll be prompted to schedule it for the next restart. This checks the hard drive for bad sectors and file system errors, which directly addresses the 'inpage' error.
- 4 If chkdsk finds errors, it will try to fix them. After the restart, check if the error is gone.
- 5 If the error persists, boot into Advanced Startup (Shift + Restart) and go to Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Repair. This can fix boot-level issues.
- 6 If you suspect a hardware issue, reseat your RAM sticks and drive cables. Dust can also cause issues, so clean the inside of your PC if comfortable.
