Windows 10: Memory Management BSOD, points to possible pagefile corruption

Hi! I've been having a couple issues with a Memory Management BSOD happening to me for over a week now, I tried reinstalling windows but that didn't seem to fix it either, and it's been constantly happening since then.So after enabling dumps and checking the most recent one, it seems to point to a corrupt page file. I don't know exactly how to proceed from here, so any help would be highly appreciated!Dump file in question: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zwUVuHDn0PSF3jG-qEpy7pUgYCLbJCoc/view?usp=drive_link

BSODs with corrupt pagefile - Is That Possible?

Past couple of days I have been having random BSODS. A few examples of the messages was - Memory management / IRQL less than or equal to/ Thread could not be activated/ Page Pool something or other.

First BSODS I have had on this relatively new system so decided to take everything back to stock and test each part. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit BTW.

HDtune error check - fine
Memtest86 - 10 passes fine
Prime 95 - 7hrs overnight fine
Graphics card - furmark/3DMark fine

Go to play a bit of WOW last night and it locks up straight away with memory management issue. So I looked into it a bit and read that it could possibly be a virtual memory/pagefile issue and that if it is corrupted it may cause these issues.

I then set the pagefile to zero and enabled clear pagefile on shutdown in the registry. When it rebooted I let the amount be set by Windows and disabled the registry entry for clearing it on shutdown and will see how it goes.

I had never heard of this issue before causing BSODS, is it common and what should be the next step if I get another one today with the new pagefile in place?

 

BSODs with corrupt pagefile - Is That Possible?

yes, can be corrupted, I woud run hard disk sentinel. ( i think better becouse read SMART to) may demaged cluster
recreate the pagefile on another drive/partition and delete the pagefile on the C drive... reboot and test... rebuilt on C and try thet too.

may need virus scan as can cousing page file corrupt

 

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?
