This guide will help you fix the Igdkmd64.sys BSOD, which continues to plague Windows 10 users. The instructions provided mostly work with older versions of Windows as well.

The article you will read below deals with the error message connected with Igdkmd64.sys BSOD – the driver for the Intel Graphics Kernel Mode, also known as igfx. It contains some solutions in the form of guides that are supposed to get that unpleasant issue solved for you.

Where, when and why could Igdkmd64.sys error appear?

Igdkmd64.sys is by no means a new error in the Windows scene and it appears to occur just as frequently on Windows 10.

This specific driver has been developed by Intel and only systems with a processor made by Intel could experience such an issue. The problem itself represents a Blue Screen of Death together with an error notification stating this driver is not working properly. In fact, such an issue might result from nothing – there could be no reason for it. Some Mac users might also become victims of such a problem. Fortunately, we have provided a few useful guides below that could be just the right thing for your case. Hopefully, by following the steps inside them, you will be able to get rid of this problem.

Igdkmd64.sys – a Windows 10 Fix

The Guide

Guide #1: Steps to disable Intel’s integrated GPU 

The instructions in the following guide will only work for users, who have discrete graphic cards. Examples of discrete cards are AMD or nVidia. Actually, the instructions below represent something more of a workaround than of a fix. However, in case you don’t really use Intel’s GPU, you are not going to spot any differences.

1. Turn off your PC.
2. Unplug the graphics card.
3. Boot your device again.
4. Load the Device Manager. Just push the Windows Key on your keyboard, and then enter Device Manager. Open the generated result.
5. As soon as you open the generated result, enlarge the Display Adapters.
6. Find Intel’s integrated GPU there.
7. Click with the right button of the mouse on it. Once you see the dropdown menu, choose Disable.
   
   
8. The last step from this guide is to shut down your machine once more. Then simply plug your graphics card back in. 

When you start your computer again, you should not be experiencing the igdkmd64.sys issue anymore.

Guide #2: How to solve the issue by updating the drivers via Windows’ Force Update

In some cases, using the Force Update could fix the error by getting you the newest drivers. However, what you are supposed to do first is to download everything Windows Update has available for you.

1. Hit the Windows key.
2. Enter Check for Updates. When there is a result of this search request, load it.
3. Push the Check for Updates from there.
   
   
4. This should be done as many times as it is necessary. The final message you should see in order to stop doing that is “Your device is up to date“.
5. When you have finished with the steps above, load This PC.
6. From there go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Once there, remove everything from the inside.
7. Next you have to enter an Elevated Command Prompt. For that purpose, press both Windows and X at the same time. From the menu that comes up, choose Command Prompt.

Wuauclt.exe /updatenow should be entered in the Command Prompt, followed by pushing Enter. In the end, only a reboot of the system is recommended.

A special tip: In case you are overclocking, stop that!

This solution doesn’t work for everyone. In case you are not aware of the fact that you are overclocking, this will not be the tip for you. Still, if you know that you ARE, proceed with the next paragraph.

Overclocking could result in a serious strain on your CPU, as well as your GPU. This depends on which one exactly you are overclocking. Such issues might result in BSOD with the aforementioned error alert. Our advice is that you attempt to bring everything back to the stock frequencies and voltages. In some particular cases, this might fix the problem.

Guide #3: Maybe setting a new name to “igdkmd64.sys” will help

The instructions below are only compatible with issues of Mac users who use Windows via Bootcamp.

1. First of all, look for the .sys file {It is normally found in the Windows folder of the partition where your OS has been installed – within System32 and inside the drivers folder}.
2. Choose that file. Right-click on it then. Select the Rename option, after which alter its name to another one like igdkmd64Backup.sys. Save the new name.

The problem should not be present anymore.

This guide will help you troubleshoot the BSOD error Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled in Windows 10. The guide can also be used with earlier versions of Windows.

Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled is typically a recurring error

The ‘kmode_exception_not_handled’ represents an error that can be provoked by various things. It might occur because of a program you installed on your PC, or a bad driver. This issue can also appear in different ways. The most likely way such an error presents itself is by causing a Blue Screen of Death and making your PC reboot every single time it occurs. Until the underlying issue is resolved “Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled” is bound to appear again and again.

Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled Fix

The Guide

Method #1: Installing missing or corrupt drivers

This particular error could be caused by corrupted or missing drivers, so we advise you to install all the ones that are missing. For that purpose you need to load Safe mode in case you cannot access your Windows OS (which is often the case). This can be done if you wait until your PC reboots several times. Then you should see Windows Recovery Environment. Push F5 to load Safe Mode with Networking. As soon as you have entered Safe Mode, stick to the following steps in order to install the missing drivers:

*Press and hold Windows Key + X. Then select Device Manager from the menu.

When it loads, look for any unrecognizable devices. After that you should right-click all of them and apply Update Driver Software.

Once all the missing drivers have been installed, your issue should be resolved. To check whether this solution has worked, terminate Safe Mode and see if the error message still pops up.

Method #2 – Removing your anti-malware program may help

Some versions of anti-malware software might also cause this error. If this is the case, the program provoking the issue should be removed and you should install a new piece of anti-virus software that will not result in this issue. For that purpose, access your Control Panel, then go to the Programs section, find the program that needs to be uninstalled and follow the instruction in the wizard.

Method #3 – Giving a new name to the problematic file may solve the problem

Often, when the notification for this error appears, you will also be shown the particular file name that has resulted in the issue. Some users claim that altering the name of the problematic file could get the problem solved.

Please remember that altering the names of such a file is NOT always the greatest solution, because it might cause system instability. Ensure that no system file’s name gets changed.

Method #4 – Tone down overclocking or increase voltage

A CPU operating on stock frequency will rarely cause problems, but if you’ve done overclocking or purchased a second-hand PC configuration this might be the issue. Try removing the overclock or increasing the voltage in order to resolve the “Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled” BSOD.

Method #5 – Your RAM may be causing the error and you need to check it

At times, faulty RAM module might result in such an error. To check whether this is your case, follow the instructions below:

Press and hold the Windows Key + R key combination. Then write mdsched.exe in the dialog. Choose OK.

There you will see a Windows Memory Diagnostic window coming up. Go with one of the two presented options and follow the onscreen steps.

If any error occurs try removing and switching the places of your RAM memory sticks. This will help narrow down the faulty memory module.

Method #6  – Your network drivers may need to be updated

Often, such an error may be connected to your network adapter. Our recommendation in such a case is to update your network adapter drivers. For that purpose you simply need to go to the network adapter manufacturer’s web page and get the newest drivers for your network adapter.

Method  #7 – Your BIOS might need an upgrade

Rarely is the ‘kmode_exception_not_handled’ error provoked by an old BIOS version. However, it happens. To upgrade your BIOS, you should directly go to your motherboard manufacturer’s site and download the newest BIOS for your particular motherboard. Then you just have to closely stick to the instructions included in your motherboard manual. This way you will be able to properly update your BIOS.

Still, you need to remember that performing this advanced operation wrongly way may entirely damage your computer.

This guide will help you troubleshoot the BSOD error Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled in Windows 10. The guide can also be used with earlier versions of Windows.

This guide will help you troubleshoot and fix Error Code 0x80070013, which can appear on Windows 10 and earlier versions.  

We will start by explaining exactly what error code 0x80070013 in Windows 10 means. Usually, you may get it when you are trying to install a driver on your computer that is already installed. Or you are attempting to install a driver that is less compatible with your hardware than the one that is already installed on the system. If this happens to you, you should know that this error code may be the reason for your failed Windows 10 updates. Error code 0x80070013  may not allow you to install any updates to your Windows 10 and every attempt to do so may crash until the error code issue is resolved. And having in mind that the system updates are mandatory if you want to keep your OS healthy, solving this issue as soon as possible is the best you could do. Luckily, it is not such a big deal to fix the 0x80070013 error and in this guide, we will show you the easiest way to do that:

Error Code 0x80070013 Fix

The Guide

Manually reset your Windows Update Components

To reset the Windows Update Components you will need to use a few commands in the elevated command prompt. Now, to open it, you need to simultaneously press the Windows and the X keys from the keyboard. A menu with options will open where you need to select Command Prompt (Admin).

A User Account message may appear where you need to press “Yes” to allow the elevated command prompt to start. Once inside, you need to first stop the MSI Installer, the Windows Update Services, and the BITS. For that, type the commands below and press Enter after each of them. Be careful when typing the commands, tough, because incorrect or spelling mistakes may make a mess with your system. Also, be patient because completing them may take some time.

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver

When the services are stopped, rename the Catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution folders.
This can be done directly from the elevated command prompt by typing the following commands and pressing Enter after each of them.

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Next, you need to restart the services that you stopped earlier, so Windows Update can continue working. To do that, while still in the elevated command prompt, type the following commands and as usually don’t forget to press Enter after you type each of them:

net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

When you are done, simply close the command prompt by clicking the X box in the upper right corner.

If you have completed all the steps from above you have successfully reset the Windows Update Components and now the annoying 0x80070013 error code should be gone.

• Important! Start command prompt as an administrator, because an “Access is denied” message will prevent you from renaming the folders and the 0x80070013 error won’t be solved. So keep in mind this and when you are finished with the fix, you can update your Windows 10 with all its latest stability and security fixes.

This guide will help you troubleshoot the Ntoskrnl.exe BSOD system error on Windows 10/7. Unless taken care of, this problem will cause continuous BSOD crashes.

The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD for short) is one of the most feared PC issues that one can encounter. Oftentimes it can be very difficult to determine the exact cause of the crash and in some cases a BSOD might be an indication of a major issue with your machine and/or its system. Here, we will be focusing on one particular case with a Blue Screen of Death crash where the displayed message has the name Ntoskrnl.exe in it. If that is your case, there are several likely causes for the problem. The first possibility is that there is an issue with your RAM. It could be a RAM stick that’s not firmly in its place or one that is faulty and is thus making your system unstable. Another common cause for a Ntoskrnl.exe BSOD is drivers that do not match your hardware. If you have recently updated your machine by replacing some of its parts, your drivers might need an update in order for your system to function properly.

Нtoskrnl.exe BSOD System Fix

The Guide

Fix 1: Driver updates

In case you have recently upgraded your hardware and replaced some of your machine’s old parts with newer ones, you might need to also update the drivers that control them. As we mentioned above, if your drivers do not match your hardware, you might get the Ntoskrnl.exe error. The following guide will help you find out what drivers might be potentially causing your PC to crash:

1. Open your Start Menu and type verifier in the search field.
2. Select the first result.
3. Choose the option Create Standard Settings and click on Next.
4. Now select Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer and click on Finish.
5. Restart your Computer and wait until all drivers have been verified.  

If during the drivers’ testing a faulty or outdated one has been found, you’d be notified. Once you have figured out which is the problematic driver, you’ll need to repair it. Here is a short guide on how to do that:

1. Press the Winkey button and in the Start Menu search box type device manager.
2. Click on the first result.
3. Locate the driver that has been causing the ntoskrnl.exe problem and right-click on it (usually has a yellow mark on it).
4. Select Uninstall and restart your PC.
5. The uninstalled driver should automatically install once you boot back-up. However, it is advisable that you go back to the Device Manager, right-click on that driver again and this time select Update driver software.

Fix 2: Manually checking your RAM

There is no going around it – if the problem is with one or more of your RAM sticks, then opening your PC case and taking a look at what’s inside is the only way to go about it. However, before you do that, you can first use a software tool that will help you detect if the problem is really coming from your RAM. There are a lot of such free software tools online. One example is memtest86. Search for it in your browser and download the program.

• Keep in mind that it requires to be burned onto a bootable DVD/USB in order for you to carry out the memory test. If you do not know how to burn a bootable device, here is a link to a guide which will show you how to do it.

Now, if the problem is really caused by a faulty RAM stick, carefully unscrew the bolts and look at the inside of your PC.                                  

The ram sticks are long and narrow flat pieces and in order to release them you usually need to press two clips that are at the two sides of the stick and are holding it together.

First, we suggest that you make sure that all of them are well fit in their place, because if there is one that is not well tightened, it just might be what’s causing the instability in your system. If that is not the case, start removing them one at a time and try booting your PC in between to figure out which stick is the problematic one. Once you’ve found the ram stick that has been causing ntoskrnl.exe issue, replace it with a new one and see if the problem has been solved.

 

Welcome to our guide on how to troubleshoot the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error for Windows 8/10. Inside you will discuss probable reasons for the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error, as well as the means to fix them.

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crashes can be really frustrating, especially when you do not know what has caused them. Oftentimes, bringing the computer to a specialist is the best course of action, especially if you do not think you can troubleshoot the issue yourself. However, in many cases you can have the problem solved without the need for professional help. Let’s do it together!

If you are currently experiencing the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error in Windows 8 or 10, we can give you several possible fix methods that you can try right now. Generally, the most common causes for the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error are bad HDD blocks (sectors), loose cables that do not establish a proper connection to your hard-drive, a problem with your RAM or depletion of nonpaged pool memory. Here, we will attempt to help you figuring out which one of these is the cause for the BSOD and how you can fix the problem so that no more system crashes occur.

Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error Fix

The Guide

Enter Safe Mode

Almost always, the first step that needs to be taken when troubleshooting a BSOD error is to boot the computer in Safe Mode. When in Safe Mode, your system is much more stable due to the fact that only the most important system processes are active. Everything that is not essential for the functioning of your OS is left out. If you do not know how to boot into Safe Mode, this guide will show you how you can do that.

Check Disk

As we already mentioned, one of the most common causes for the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error is bad sectors on your hard-drive. Luckily, Windows has a built-in feature that, when used, checks your HDD for bad sectors and if any are detected, Windows attempts to repair them.

After you have booted your machine in Safe Mode, use the Check Disk function to find out whether the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error BSOD is caused by bad sectors on your hard-drive and have them repaired. Here is a link to a guide that will teach you how to use Check Disk.

Memory test

Another very common reason for the occurrence of the Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error is a problem with your RAM. It could be that a RAM stick is failing or is not properly fitted into its place. Whatever the case, you’d need to find out whether the issue is coming from your RAM. There are several ways to do that.

1. Our first suggestion here is to run the program called memtest86. It’s a free tool that you can download right now. The program tests your computer’s memory and if there are any errors found, they would be displayed on your screen and that way you’d know that the BSOD crashes are almost certainly due to bad or incompatible with your system RAM sticks. You can learn how to use Memtest86 in this guide.
2. The second option that might help you determine whether the error is caused by failing RAM is to shut down your PC and manually open its case. Then take a look at the RAM sticks to see if any of them are not tightly fitted or physically damaged. You can also try to remove them, one by one, and turn on your PC in between. That way you might be able to which one is being problematic and replace it with a new one. If you have recently bought new RAM sticks, you might ask for a refund if it is determined that the kernel_data_inpage_error is indeed coming from the new memory. It is also possible that the RAM you bought is simply not compatible with your computer, so keep that in mind.

Set your non-paged memory pool to be managed automatically

Usually, the automatic management of your nonpaged resources should be automatic by default. However, if, for whatever reason, your system does not automatically manage the pagefile, BSOD  crashes such as the kernel_data_inpage_error are likely to occur. Here is what you need to do to fix that:

1. After having booted into Safe Mode, open the Start Menu right-click on Computer/My Computer.
2. Select Properties.                                                               
3. In the resulting window, click on Advanced System Settings (right-pane).
4. Next, go to the tab labeled Advanced.
5. Click on Settings under Performance.                       
6. Go to the Advanced section.
7. Under Virtual Memory, select Change.
8. The checkbox next to the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives option must have a tick. If it does not, check that option and then click on OK. Click OK on the other opened windows.

Usually, the automatic management of your nonpaged resources should be automatic by default. However, if, for whatever reason, your system does not automatically manage the pagefile, BSOD  crashes such as the kernel_data_inpage_error are likely to occur. Here is what you need to do to fix that:

1. After having booted into Safe Mode, open the Start Menu right-click on Computer/My Computer.
2. Select Properties.                                                               
3. In the resulting window, click on Advanced System Settings (right-pane).
4. Next, go to the tab labeled Advanced.
5. Click on Settings under Performance.                       
6. Go to the Advanced section.
7. Under Virtual Memory, select Change.
8. The checkbox next to the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives option must have a tick. If it does not, check that option and then click on OK. Click OK on the other opened windows.

In this guide we’ll help you troubleshoot Error Code 0xc00000e9. This is a common Windows  Error that can be seen on Windows 7, Windows 10 and earlier.

If you are currently dealing with the frustrating 0xc00000e9 error when trying to turn on your computer, we will attempt to help you fixing the issue. Typically, this error is caused by a problem with your PC hardware, specifically, your HDD or your motherboard. This, however, does not mean that those are the only possible causes for the 0xc00000e9 error. Therefore, here we will suggest several possible fixes and troubleshooting methods that may help you determine what the problem is and have it solved afterwards.

Error Code 0xc00000e9 Fix

The Guide

Remove external devices

Before you try anything else, you might want to disconnect any external devices such as printers, scanners, etc fro your PC. In many cases, errors like 0xc00000e9 could be caused by a faulty device or a bad connection (cable/port). Whatever the case, it won’t hurt to try restarting normally, without any devices attached to it apart from your mouse and keyboard. If this changes nothing, then you should go and see our next suggestions

Try booting into Safe Mode

First thing you should do when trying to troubleshoot such an issue is attempt to boot your machine into Safe Mode. If the problem is not that big, you should be able to do that. From then on, you have much more options when it comes to resolving the problem. If you do not know how to access Safe Mode, here is a guide that will show you how to do it for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.

Check your HDD using chkdsk

If you managed to enter Safe Mode, there is a built-in Windows option that allows you to check your hard-drive for bad sectors. If any are found, Windows will attempt to repair them. That way, if the problem is not coming from a physical damage on your HDD, it will probably be fixed. There are several ways to use the chkdsk function and the next guide will show you how to do it. Simply follow this link.

Check the PC’s SATA cables

In some cases, a loose SATA cable within your computer case might be what’s causing the issue.

1. To have that checked and fixed, you’d need to shut down your PC and carefully open its case.
2. Look for cables like the one in the image above.
3. Once you find them, take a closer look to see if any of them are loose or damaged. Try refitting them.
4. If any of the cables are damaged, buy a new one and replace the damaged cable/s.

Rearrange your boot devices

Sometimes, especially after a motherboard upgrade, your boot devices order might be messed up, resulting in the issue. Therefore, if you have recently had your computer’s motherboard upgraded or f you have altered your hardware in any given way, you might need to check your boot devices order. It’s fairly easy to fix this and in the following guide, we will show you what you need to do.

1. First, restart your computer and as soon as it starts to turn back on, start spamming the F2 button. It might be difficult to time it right so you may possibly need to restart several times until you get it.
   • Note that sometimes the key you’d need to press won’t be F2. It really depends on your computer brand and model. If F2 does not work, you can try F10 or you can search online for the insydeh20 setup utility key for your machine.

2. Once you have booted into the setup utility, use the arrow keys and navigate to the section labeled Boot. The insydeh20 setup utility interface might not always be the same but you should generally be looking for an option named Boot.        
3. Once you get there, there should be a list of boot devices. Highlight the one that has HDD in its name using the arrow keys and then move it to the top of the list with the F6 button.
4. Next, get to the Boot Mode setting and hit Enter.
5. If you are a Windows 7 or 10 user, select the Legacy option and press Enter, if you are using Windows 8, opt for UEFI.                        
6. Now, go to the Exit tab and select the Exit Saving Changes option.
7. Restart your PC normally to see if the issue has been solved.

Hard-Drive replacement

Sometimes, the problem might be physical damage to your hard drive or one that is simply badly manufactured. Whatever the case, if that is your current situation, the only way to get your PC back online is to replace the hard disk with a new one. If you have recently bought the disk, you could ask for a refund if the HDD was problematic from the moment you bought it.
