Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I have been seeing this blue screen error for a few days “ DIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTION “. How do I get rid of it?“- Adam J., New Zealand

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).

Clean The Computer’s Registry 

After uninstalling the suspected program(s) clean the computer’s registry to get rid of the error. This can be done easily by using any trusted registry cleaner like WinThruster. After cleaning the registry, you can update device drivers and fix anything that is left.

Try Updating System Drivers To Fix The Error

The Dirty_mapped_pages_congestion error should be fixed when you update all device drivers to their recent versions. You can do this by installing the drivers manually or automatically. Manual installation involves going to the manufacturer’s website and downloading device drivers from there. Automatic installation involves using software like DriverDoc to download and install the drivers for you. It takes less time than the manual method.

Clean Viruses From The Computer

The Dirty_mapped_pages_congestion error can result from viruses as well. This can happen if the anti-virus database is outdated. Update its database or install an anti-virus if you don’t already have one installed on the computer. Avast and AVG are two free options.
