Temporary files stored on your machine may cause GPF errors by forcing programs to access other memory portions. Delete temporary files and check if the error persists. The quickest method to do that is to run Disk Cleanup.

  1. Type ‘disk cleanup‘ in the Windows search bar. Launch Disk Cleanup.
  2. Select your main drive and scan it.
  3. Then clear the following files:
    • Temporary Internet Files
    • Temporary Files
    • Windows Update Files
    • And any other files you no longer need.
  4. Restart your computer.disk cleanup free disk space

Delete Files Your No Longer Need

Another method to free up some space on your machine is to manually remove unnecessary files and programs. Start with video files because they eat up a lot of storage space. And then delete all the other files you no longer need.


Run SFC and DISM

Corrupted system files may trigger GPF errors from time to time.

  1. Launch Command Prompt as admin.
  2. Run the following commands and press Enter after each one:
    • sfc /scannow
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  3. Restart your machine and check if the error persists.
