    "
    Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error means that the page file is corrupted. The page file is a file on the SSD/HDD where Windows puts low priority data from RAM to free up space in RAM. If that data is needed later, it's loaded back in. The page file is in many ways treated like extra RAM and is often called virtual RAM.

    When you see this error, it's a huge red flag that the storage is faulty. So most likely you need to replace the drive the page file is on. If you don't know which drive that is or how to check, you can use this command in Powershell:
    Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PageFileUsage -Property *
    We are only interested in the location here, nothing else. So if it says "C:\pagefile.sys", it's on C: and the drive with C: is the drive that is most likely faulty."

    Before he bails on the offending drive, couldn't he:

    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    iF it finds an error, can't you have it attempt to fix the error with chkdsk from the command prompt? For that matter, can't he just run chkdisk?
