What is this error?

The "UNLOCKED_PAGE_LIST" error is a type of blue screen of death (BSOD) that typically indicates a low-level problem with the Windows memory management system. This error occurs when the system encounters a memory-related issue that it cannot resolve, often tied to faulty hardware or problematic drivers.

How to Fix It

To troubleshoot and resolve the "UNLOCKED_PAGE_LIST" blue screen error, follow these steps:
  1. Restart Your Computer: Sometimes a simple reboot can clear temporary issues that may lead to a BSOD.
  2. Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic: Press Windows + R, type mdsched.exe, and select "Restart now and check for problems." Follow the prompts to diagnose memory issues.
  3. Check for Hardware Issues: Open your computer case and reseat RAM modules, ensuring they are properly placed in the slots. If you have multiple sticks of RAM, test them one at a time.
  4. Update Drivers: Go to Device Manager and check for any outdated or problematic drivers. Update them to ensure compatibility and stability.
  5. Check for Disk Errors: Open a command prompt as an administrator and run chkdsk /f. This will scan and attempt to fix any disk errors that could be contributing to the BSOD.
  6. Restore Windows: If the problem persists, consider performing a system restore to a point before the error began occurring. This can be done by going to Control Panel > Recovery > Open System Restore.
  7. Reinstall Windows: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to perform a clean installation of Windows 10. Back up your important data before proceeding.
