  2. System File Checker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_File_Checker

    In Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10, System File Checker is integrated with Windows Resource Protection (WRP), which protects registry keys and folders as well as critical system files. Under Windows Vista, sfc.exe can be used to check specific folder paths, including the Windows folder and the boot folder.

  3. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    In computer operating systems, memory paging is a memory management scheme that eliminates the need for contiguous memory allocation, [1]. It is often combined with the related technique of allocating and freeing page frames and storing pages on and retrieving them from secondary storage [a] in order to allow the aggregate size of the address spaces to exceed the physical memory of the system. [2]

  4. Thrashing (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

    A system thrashing is often a result of a sudden spike in page demand from a small number of running programs. Swap-token [3] is a lightweight and dynamic thrashing protection mechanism. The basic idea is to set a token in the system, which is randomly given to a process that has page faults when thrashing happens.

  5. Out of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory

    Out of memory screen display on system running Debian 12 (Linux kernel 6.1.0-28). Out of memory (OOM) is an often undesired state of computer operation where no additional memory can be allocated for use by programs or the operating system.

  6. Error message - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_message

    To fix this, the user should close some programs (to free swap file usage) and delete some files (normally temporary files, or other files after they have been backed up), or get a bigger hard drive. Out of memory

  7. Page fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault

    In computing, a page fault is an exception that the memory management unit (MMU) raises when a process accesses a memory page without proper preparations. Accessing the page requires a mapping to be added to the process's virtual address space.

  8. DLL hell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Hell

    DLL hell is an umbrella term for the complications that arise when one works with dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) used with older Microsoft Windows operating systems, [1] particularly legacy 16-bit editions, which all run in a single memory space.

  9. Machine-check exception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

    It records memory errors, using the EDAC tracing events. EDAC is a Linux kernel subsystem that handles detection of ECC errors from memory controllers for most chipsets on i386 and x86_64 architectures. EDAC drivers for other architectures like arm also exists.
