However, checking it out is easy - try to free up as much space as possible on the hard drive, The lack of disk space is another unlikely reason for KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. Try to connect the device to a different USB port. However, you can scan the drive only if you have access to the operating system. Viruses are the most unlikely reason, but this reason should not be ruled out. You can apply the methods described below in any order, since there is no interconnection between them. However, sometimes KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR occurs for a number of reasons completely unrelated to the hard drive.įor example, the BSOD could be caused by RAM problems, devices connected to the system, viruses, lack of necessary updates for Windows, and so on. Such an error may also occur due to the banal lack of space on the hard drive. This critical failure is a potentially dangerous situation because often it may point to the disk problems, for example, bad sectors on the drive,Ī poor contact in a SATA connector, a damaged cable connecting the HDD to a PC motherboard, or damaged SATA connectors. This error can occur on all Windows versions. KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR often causes a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).
