Disable / remove antivirus software

Check your RAM

In addition, you might need to update the BIOS or run diagnostics on the hard drive or RAM.

• Type memory in the search box and press Enter.
• Click on Diagnose your computer’s memory problems.
• Select reboot now and run the test, or run it on next reboot.
• Finally, websites like MemTest or MemTest86 offer free downloadable memory tests that can be saved to a CD or USB stick and run on your computer.

If you’ve done all of these but still get this error, it might just be a virus.
