3] Disable XMP profile (if applicable)

If your RAM supports XMP profile and you have enabled it, the problem might be occurring due to it. To confirm this, disable the XMP profile and then turn the Memory Integrity ON. If this works, you can enable the XMP profile again after enabling Memory Integrity.

Different brands use different terms for the XMP profile. Therefore, based on the make of your motherboard, you may find DOCP or EOCP in place of XMP. DOCP, EOCP, and XMP are the same terms used to overclock RAM. DOCP is an XMP profile equivalent, used in ASUS motherboards. EOCP is another XMP equivalent, used in Gigabyte motherboards.

Refer to the user manual of your motherboard manufacturer to know how to disable the XMP profile.

4] Check for corrupt drivers

The next step is to check for corrupt drivers. Corrupt drivers can also trigger Blue Screen error while enabling Memory Integrity in Windows 11. To check corrupt drivers, follow these steps:

Open the Device Manager.
Expand all the branches.
Look for the warning sign (yellow exclamation mark).
Double-click on the driver that shows the warning sign to open its Properties. Read the Device status message under the General tab. It will show the error code and the error message.
The error code will be one of the Device Manager error codes. Now, troubleshoot the error accordingly.

You can also try reinstalling the corrupt driver. Right-click on the corrupt driver and select Uninstall device. Now, visit the official website of your computer manufacturer and download the latest version of the driver. Run the executable file to install the driver.

If there is no warning sign in the Device Manager, open the Optional Updates page in Windows 11 Settings and check if any driver updates are available there. If yes, install all of them. Alternatively, you can also use Driver Updater software to update all your device drivers with a single click.

5] Update BIOS and Chipset driver

Updating the BIOS to the latest version makes the system more stable by improving hardware compatibility. Check the currently installed version of BIOS on your system. Open System Information, and you will see the current BIOS version there. Now, visit the official website of your computer manufacturer and check the BIOS version available there. If an updated BIOS version is available, download and install it.

While installing the BIOS update, it is mandatory to provide a continuous power supply to your system. An interruption in the power supply during a BIOS update breaks the motherboard. If you have a laptop, connect the charger and turn on the switch, even if your laptop is completely charged.

We also suggest you update your chipset driver.

6] Restore your system

Try to restore your system to its previous working state using System Restore. Run System Restore and select the restore point created on the date before the problem occurred. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to restore your system.

7] Reset your PC

The last resort is to reset your PC to the factory default settings without deleting your data. The Keep my files option will save your data while formatting the system. However, we recommend you back up all your important files before proceeding.

That’s it. I hope this helps.
