You may want to check the compatibility of the defective hardware with your computer. This information can be found in the equipment manual and on the manufacturer’s website.
Checking the memory
If you do not have Acronis or if this does not cause the problem, we should check that your RAM is working properly. RAM (Random Access Memory) is at the heart of your machine and if there is a problem with it, maybe that’s why you get this BSOD.
- Press Windows + R to launch the Run application. Enter “mdsched.exe” in the dialog box and press Enter.
- A Windows Memory Diagnostics window opens. You now have two options: either reboot now and search for the problem, or you search for problems that occur the next time you start your computer.
- After restarting, you can see a window like this one. Let the process run completely and do not stop it at any time. When you see that progress is blocked, don’t worry. The computer restarts automatically after the exam is completed.
Repair windows
This step is a sure way to correct the ATTEMPTED SWITCH FROM DPC error. Repairing your operating system can result in complete loss of hard drive data, depending on the method you use. A clean installation, for example, has its advantages, such as a much faster and more efficient system, but if you have personal files on your hard drive (which is most likely the case), you will lose them if you do not save them.
