Fortect will find the cause of BSoD and fix it. Here is how to do it with 3 easy steps:
TheDIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTIONblue screen error, with a bug check of0x000000EB, is typically encountered when running resource-intensive applications. According to Microsoft, it highlights the absence of free pages to continue operations, and subsequently, the PC crashes to prevent data loss!
The causes forDIRTY MAPPED PAGES CONGESTIONinclude corrupt/outdated drivers, conflicting third-party apps, corrupted system files, issues with the hard disk and RAM, and low virtual memory.
Before you begin troubleshooting, terminate inactive apps, install all pending Windows updates, disconnect non-critical peripherals, and clear any overlocking. For2out of5users, these basic checks should fix things!
How do I fix DIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTION blue screen error?
1. Update the problematic driver
Whileupdating the drivers, if Windows tells you that the best ones are already installed, go to the manufacturer’s website, search for the newest versions, and thenmanually install the latest drivers.
2. Roll back recent driver updates
If theRoll Back Driveroption is greyed out for any device, you can try otherways to roll back the installed driver versionand fix theDIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTIONBSOD error in Windows.
3. Uninstall conflicting applications
For some applications, there are remnant files and settings post-uninstallation, which might still be triggeringDIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTION. In this case, you must use atop-rated software uninstaller for Windowsto delete all leftover files and Registry entries.
4. Repair the corrupted system files
Ifcorrupted system filesare the underlyingcause of the BSOD, running the SFC(System File Checker)scan andDISM(Deployment Image Servicing and Management)commands should do the trick. The two will replace any affected protected system files with their cached copy stored on the PC.
5. Increase the virtual memory
When your system doesn’t have enough physical memory, Windows offloads inactive apps to the page file (virtual memory). But if the latter, too, is running low,increasing the virtual memorywill fix theDIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTIONblue screen error.
6. Check the disk and RAM for issues
6.1 Repair the disk
6.2 Check the RAM
If the built-in utility can’t find any problems, I recommend usingMemtest86+, a third-party memory testing tool that will run extensive scans on individual RAM modules and detect all existing issues.
7. Reinstall Windows
When nothing else works, the last option is toreinstall Windows. Though time-consuming, this will eliminate all software-based conflicts!
To reinstall Windows > connect a flash drive to another PC > go toMicrosoft’s official website> download the Media Creation Tool > run it andcreate a bootable Windows USB> plug the flash drive into the affected PC >change the boot orderto the flash drive > follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows.
If even reinstalling Windows fails to fix theDIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTIONBSOD, get the PC inspected for hardware malfunction. For this, you can contact the manufacturer’s dedicated support or visit a local repair shop.
