Грузится ли у вас система?
Неважно, какая именно ОС у вас установлена, важен вопрос – загружается ли она у вас, или синий экран вылезает прям в момент запуск ПК? Если ОС грузится, пропустите эту главу и перейдите к следующей. Если система не грузится – переходим по этой ссылки и проделываем шаги из инструкции. В «Дополнительных параметрах» выберите «Восстановление системы» и попробуйте выполнить откат. Если ошибка будет возникать вновь, выполните и другие варианты из той статьи.
Драйвера
Чаще всего эта ошибка возникает из-за драйвера или выбранного программного обеспечения. Вот тут встает вопрос – а какой драйвер виноват? Первое, вы можете вспомнить – может быть вы устанавливали или обновляли какие-то драйвера в систему недавно? Также можно запустить программу BlueScreenView.
После запуска смотрим по дате дамп памяти синего экрана, выбираем его и смотрим в нижнее окно, какой файл (столбец «Filename») вызвал ошибку. Скорее всего, это файл какого-то драйвера.
Драйвера стоит переустановить на другую версию. Если вы скачивали драйвер с официального сайта, то можно попробовать его откатить. Помните, что драйвер нужно скачивать и устанавливать исходя из разрядности и версии вашей ОС. Если вообще непонятно, какая железяка вызвала ошибку – обновите все дрова в системе.
Читаем – как обновить все драйвера в Виндовс.
Проверка системы на наличие ошибок
Можно попробовать выполнить проверку целостности системных файлов и восстановить их. Для этого – запускаем командую строку с правами администратора. Далее поочередно вводим две команды:
sfc /scannow dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Откат системы
Если вы не делали ещё откат системы, то советую сделать это. Таким образом вы попробуете решить проблему с определенным драйвером или программным обеспечением.
Дополнительные советы
Есть еще несколько советов, которые иногда помогают в решении данной проблемы. Поэтому делаем поочередно следующие вещи:
- Очень часто синий экран появляется из-за наличие битой плашки памяти RAM – поэтому следует проверить всю оперативную память. Я советую не использовать встроенную функцию Виндовс и лучше запустить проверку с загрузочной флешки и программы MemTest86.
- Проверьте систему на наличие вирусов.
- Проверьте жесткий диск, на котором установлена Виндовс, на наличие ошибок.
- Если система никогда не обновлялась – сделайте это.
- Если вообще ничего не помогает, то можно попробовать еще два способа. Первый – выполнить сброс Виндовс до заводских настроек. Инструкции для:
Windows 10
Windows 11
- Последний вариант – это выполнить чистую установку Виндовс с официального образа. Оставлю ссылки на инструкции по установке:
Windows 10
Windows 11
Вообще проблема подобных ошибок в том, что не всегда понятно – что именно их вызывает. Именно поэтому решения одинаковые для всех, и они в основном комплексные. До новых встреч на портале WiFiGiD.RU.

Синий экран смерти или BSOD всегда является следствием серьезной проблемы в системе, которая несовместима с дальнейшей работой Windows. После перезапуска многие из них проходят, и это хорошо. Такая ситуация применима и к синему экрану с кодом 0x000000FC и сообщением ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY. Она не является критической, которая будет возобновляться каждый раз, но с определенной периодичностью может появляться снова, если не будет исправлена. Мы разберем все известные методы исправления.
Причины ошибки 0x000000FC
Данному BSOD присущи многие распространенные причины ошибок, которые также вызывают различные другие синие экраны смерти. Может быть, что у вас появляется BSOD каждый раз с разными кодами. Скорее всего их вызывает одна из следующих проблем:
- устаревшие драйверы компонентов;
- повреждение записей реестра;
- ошибки оперативной памяти;
- негативное влияние вирусов.
Исправления ошибки Attempted_execute_of_noexecute_memory
Существует ряд решений ошибки 0x000000FC, которые подтвердили свою эффективность в реальных условиях:
- Удалить, отключить или заменить программы. Есть некоторый софт, разработанный для Windows 7 или неудачно адаптированный к Windows 10, что вызывает лаги в системе и BSOD. Это очень легко проверить – достаточно перейти в безопасный режим и посмотреть, как работает система в случае запуска этой программы. На основании сделанных выводов уже можно принимать решение о дальнейшей судьбе утилиты. В частности, известно, что очень часто синий экран 0x000000FC вызывает Microsoft Visual C++ 2005.
- Обновить Windows 10. Возможно, после установки всех ожидающих обновлений, особенно системы безопасности, ошибка 0x000000FC перестанет появляться. Нужно перейти в «Центр обновления Windows» и нажать кнопку «Проверить обновления».
- Проверить драйвера. Лучше всего – вручную переустановить все драйвера, но это слишком сложно. Можно запустить «Диспетчер проверки драйверов», для этого нужно ввести в поиск verifier и открыть найденный файл. Нужно нажать «Далее», а затем – «Автоматически выбирать все драйверы» и кликнуть на «Готово». Система попытается найти проблемное ПО, а затем уже нужно его удалить или переустановить.
- Работа с антивирусами. Во-первых, стоит просканировать систему на наличие вирусного кода любым удобным способом. Во-вторых, проблему порой провоцирует «Защитник Windows» и его лучше отключить, отдав предпочтение альтернативным антивирусам.
- Использовать встроенные проверки Windows. Чтобы проанализировать системные файлы, в консоль нужно вставить команду sfc /scannow. Возможно, после выполнения процедуры появится сообщение с указанием исправленной или неисправленной проблемы. Порой нужно дополнительно вручную устранить сбой. Еще стоит запустить файл mdsched.exe (вставлять в строку Выполнить) и начать проверку памяти.
- Восстановить реестр. Есть 2 пути: загрузить резервную копию реестра или попробовать восстановить через программу. Чтобы воспользоваться первым способом, достаточно перейти в C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack, скопировать все файлы отсюда и вставить с заменой в папку config (предыдущую). Альтернативный путь – запустить анализ реестра в CCleaner.
- Аппаратная неисправность. К сожалению, не редкость и такой исход. Чаще всего дело в ошибках оперативной памяти. Стоит временно отключить одну планку и проверить результат, а затем – вторую. Сбой может провоцировать и другое оборудование, стоит по очередь отключать компоненты материнской платы, без которых возможна работа ПК. Также желательно попробовать другое оборудование. Сбой может провоцировать даже видеокарта.
Совет! Ошибка 0x000000FC с сообщением Attempted_execute_of_noexecute_memory может быть следствием и некоторых других проблем, хотя это и немного выбивается из правила. Есть очень хороший способ вручную найти проблему, для этого рекомендуем использовать программу BlueScreenView. Она анализирует мини-дампы системы и указывает на проблемный файл или компонент. Останется узнать его причастность к конкретному софту и уже поработать с ним: обновить, переустановить, удалить, восстановить и т. п.
Всего перечисленного должно оказаться достаточно, чтобы исправить BSOD 0x000000FC ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY самостоятельно. Также может помочь откат Windows 10 к предыдущей точке восстановления, если такая есть и сделана в подходящий момент времени. И все же мы допускаем, что это может сработать не в 100% случаев, поэтому ждем ваших комментариев.
Today, we will be discussing resolutions for ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY error BSOD in Windows 11 or 10. The issue has been found to cause serious fatality these days in the computer system. Usually, we term it as Blue Screen of Death error having a bug check code 0x000000FC. This indicates that the system has made an attempt for the execution of non-executable memory. Major causes that play a role in occurring this BSOD error code are missing system files and corrupt drivers. A few other reasons like memory problems, low disk space, huge accumulation of junk files, and an outdated operating system may come out as guilty.
ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY Error is a dangerous issue in present days. Once affected, PC restarts automatically as to reduce the damage. With earlier, irregular blue screen flashing might be common. The desktop may hang for a moment and makes it difficult for you to work along. We need to take immediate action to fix the issue once detected observing the symptoms. So, here is the list of quick links to the resolution we will discuss for your easy navigating to them –

7] Install all the newly released patches to strengthen OS
Microsoft at a regular interval releases update patches containing latest features and mostly bug fixes. People often ignore them but that is actually frightening. An outdated Operating System is usually weaker in strength and caught easily by ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error.
We can easily limit this risk by installing all the available cumulative updates. To download these files, you need to manage a speedy internet connection. This will reduce time consumption during the process. On the contrary, while using Mobile Hotspot, ensure Metered Connection is Turned Off. Once all the arrangement is set, proceed with below guidelines –
- Right click on Start icon and select Settings.
- From the app area, go to Update & Security tile.
- When the following screen loads, choose Windows Update lying on the left pane.
- Jump to the corresponding right and click on Check for updates button. Don’t bother if you see a dialog like “You’re up to date”.
- Once the patches are available, hit the Download button located there.
- Upon finishing the downloading process, installation starts automatically.
- Follow further instructions like restarting until it gets installed.
8] Uninstall Applications engage in collision with each other
A similar application in a system always has a tendency to collide with each other. In the end, after the collision, they lose the necessary components from each and also from the PC. The ultimate effect is an ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error.
Well, the easier way to stay away from this is to uninstall one of these. To remove a program from the system, you need to follow below instructions –
- Right-click on Start icon and select Apps and features option from the Win+X menu.
- In the Apps Settings page, go to the right side and find out applications colliding in the list.
- Do select one and hit Uninstall from the extended pane.

- Follow the on-screen guidelines available next to remove it completely.
- Now restart the device and upon returning to the desktop, check for BSOD issue in it.
- If resolves, you can opt for downloading those programs if needed.
9] Run System Restore to Undo recent changes
Changes in Windows modify registry after installing new programs or uninstalling others. This is indeed a sophisticated system and any abnormal alternation can cause BSOD issue.
In a simple way, you can escape the error and head back to the earlier state. Performing System Restore leads undo the recent changes in the presence of a previously created restore point. If you lack that, skip this process. When you have one, proceed with below guidelines –
- Type rstrui on the taskbar search field.
- Hit Enter key and let the System Restore wizard appear.
- From the wizard appearing, choose Show more restore points option.
- Upon arriving at all the available points, select only the latest one.
- Hit Next option to continue.
- From the following window, choose Finish to start restoring process.
10] Perform Clean Boot to Resolve ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY
Often some specific programs and services cause the ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error in the system. As a process to fix, we need to disable them.
The easiest way to accomplish that task is to perform a Clean Boot. Here is how to proceed –
- Click on Windows Search icon to open it.
- Type system configuration in the text area and select it from the result eventually.
- When the app area loads, you will see the General tab is opened directly.

12] Recover DLL files and fix corrupted system resources
With the effect of malicious invaders or similar issues, there might be corruption in the system resources. Often due to a collision of similar programs, DLL files also go missing.
All these things can together call up ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error. To fix these things, System File Checker will be a great option. Here is how to proceed –
- Click on Taskbar Search icon and allow opening it.
- Type cmd.exe in empty space.
- When the results appear, do a right click on Command Prompt.
- Select Run as Administrator option from the menu.
- Hit Yes once UAC prompts for permission.
- After moving to the black window next, insert following command –
Sfc /scannow
- Now, press the Enter key to activate the System File Checker tool here. The utility will detect and fix all the missing DLL files and corrupted Windows components.
- The process may seem a long one so hold the nerve until it finishes up completely.
- After it ends, restart the device using any convenient way.
- Prior to returning back, see if there is any BSOD error present in the system.
13] Delete all Third Party antimalware programs
You may have used third-party antivirus solutions to prevent viruses before. That’s pretty usual and they are quite handy as well. But with the introduction of Windows Security, they are unnecessary indeed.
Since there is a sharp chance of having BSOD error while using them also, we need to delete them immediately. Here is how to uninstall them –
- Invoke Run dialog first.
- Type appwiz.cpl in the search box given here.
- Hit Enter key to launch Programs and Features window.
- Moving to the appearing page, look for third-party antimalware programs listed.
- Right click on it and eventually select Uninstall.
- If UAC asks for permission, select Yes to proceed.
- Follow the guidelines available on display next to remove the tool completely.
14] Rectify Defective Image files using the DISM tool
Defective Windows image files found to cause ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY Error BSOD in Windows 10 and 11. To fix these files, the Deployment Image tool will be useful thoroughly.
We have to use a command line tool in Elevated Command Prompt as for accessing this utility. The guidelines are as follows –
- Right-click on Start menu and select Run from there.
- On arrival of the dialog, type cmd in the empty text box.
- Now, pressCtrl+ Shift+ Enter keys to head for Elevated Command Prompt directly.
- Once in the dark window, type the following command at winking cursor –
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
- Hit Enter to execute the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. This will eventually resolve all the problematic Windows image files.
- Patiently wait until the process ends normally.
- Once it ends, reboot the system and prior to signing back in, check if the error has resolved.
15] Delete Terminated Windows Update files
Sometimes, Windows Updating process terminates abnormally while installing patches. This is usually very rare but can cause ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY error.
We can easily remove this risk by uninstalling those files going through below process –
- Open Settings app pressing “Win+I” hotkeys.
- After the app is upfront, head to Update & Security region.
- On the right side of the subsequent page, click on View update history followed by a hit on Uninstall updates link.
- By default, a new “Installed Updates” page opens in a moment.
- Look for the last received patch in the appearing list.
- Select it first and hit Uninstall option showing in the top ribbon.
- Follow the further tasks as shown on the desktop until they get deleted completely.
16] Make some more space by cleaning unnecessary junks
Junk files are temporary and they are created for execution purpose only. However, they take up an equal amount of space in storage. When they pile up in a big amount, makes the operation of the device slower.
The reason is, Hard Disk runs low and eventually causes ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error also. Disk Cleaning Utility will delete those files altogether and make more space out of storage. Here is the way to accomplish –
- Press Windows key and R at the same time to call upon Run dialog.
- In the appearing wizard, type cleanmgr in the void text area.
- Press Enter key and in a second a small dialog box will come ahead. It will prompt to choose the drive where you want to carry out deleting
- Select, C: by clicking on the dropdown menu and also hit the Ok button from the dialog.
- After the Disk Cleanup wizard shows up, move down and select the Clean up system files button.
- The previous small popup dialog will appear again. Select C: in the same way before and also Press Enter.
- Once Disk Cleanup for C: arrives in the display, proceed to Files to delete section.
- Check all boxes available here only leaving Downloads.
- Next is to hit OK button to start the removing process.
Be careful for the items to Recycle Bin as they will be deleted. So, restore them before initiating cleaning.
17] Offer a little break to External Hardware components
Over the recent past, people have been suffering from BSOD issues after connecting external Hardware accessories with the device. This is quite unusual and the solution is pretty simple as well.
Only disconnecting them temporarily heals the issue. Later on, you can reconnect using the below process –
- Remove the external hardware devices in the first place from the PC.
- Now, reboot the PC.
- After Windows completes the rebooting, check if there is any ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error present.
- If it is resolved successfully, connect the devices you had removed a moment before.
- Open the web browser to visit the manufacturer’s website for respective hardware accessories.
- Download and Install the latest drivers for each and use them smoothly.
Hereby, we have discussed all the probable resolutions to fix ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY Error BSOD in Windows 10 and 11. Hope you have already resolved the issue. If having the issue existing still, try reinstalling the Operating System again. This will be the ultimate solution for all the existing issues.
Before doing so, backup important files to avoid losing them. You can also ask for help from skilled people in case of incompetency.

What Is DEP?
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature in modern operating systems that helps prevent malicious code from executing in some areas of memory that are not intended to execute code. It is designed to prevent harmful software (such as viruses or exploits) from running in specific memory regions where code should not be executed.
Method 2. Check for Corrupted System Files
Sometimes, corrupted system files can trigger this error. Running System File Checker (SFC) can help fix this. Here is what you need to do –
1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator by pressing Win + R, typing cmd in the RUN box, and pressing Ctrl+ Shift + Enter.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:
sfc /scannow
3. Wait for the scan to complete and follow any prompts to repair files if needed.
What Is SFC?
SFC stands for System File Checker, a built-in tool in Windows that helps users scan for and repair corrupted or missing system files. It’s commonly used to resolve issues with system stability, application crashes, or performance problems caused by corrupt files.
Method 3. Reinstall the Program
The error could be caused by a bug or compatibility issue with the program you’re trying to run. Try updating the software to its latest version or reinstalling it.
1. To uninstall the program, press Win + I to open the Settings.
2. Click on Apps in the left panel, followed by Installed Apps on the right side.
3. Locate the app causing the issue, click on the three dots next to it, and choose Uninstall.4. Follow the onscreen instructions to remove the app from the PC.
5. Download the app from an official source, such as the official website or Microsoft Store.
Method 4. Check BIOS/UEFI Settings (for No Execute Protection)
Some CPUs (exceptionally modern Intel and AMD processors) have a hardware feature called No Execute (NX) or Execute Disable (XD) that can block the execution of code in specific memory areas.
1. Reboot your system and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F10, DEL, or ESC during startup).
2. Look for settings related to NX, XD, or Execute Disable. The exact name may vary depending on your motherboard.
3. If enabled, try disabling it to see if it resolves the issue (though enabling it is generally recommended for security purposes).
4. Save your changes and reboot.
Method 5. Update Graphics Drivers
Sometimes, outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause memory errors. Try updating your graphics drivers to the latest version using the three ways described below.
Way 1 – Update via the Manufacturer’s Website
Manufacturers typically offer official websites where you can find and download the latest drivers and hardware resources. To update your driver, visit the manufacturer’s website, search for the appropriate driver using your device’s model number, and download it. However, having the correct details about your operating system and hardware is crucial. Without this information, you may end up installing an incorrect driver. For this reason, many users prefer using Device Manager for a more reliable process.
Way 2 – Update via Device Manager
Device Manager is a built-in Windows tool that helps you update drivers and detect hardware issues. To use it:
1. Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
2. In Device Manager, expand the relevant category (e.g., Display Adapters for graphics drivers).
3. Right-click on the driver you want to update and select Update Driver.
4. Choose Search automatically for drivers, allowing Windows to search for and install the latest driver.
Keep in mind that Device Manager may not always display the most up-to-date driver, as it only shows drivers available in the Windows database. For the latest drivers, a third-party tool may be more effective.

Way 3 – Update with Advanced Driver Updater (Recommended)
Advanced Driver Updater is a trusted tool that helps keep your drivers up to date. It also backs up your current drivers before updating, so you can choose which drivers to update and view details about the new and old versions. Here’s how to use it:
Note: The trial version allows you to update only one driver at a time. You’ll need to purchase the full version to update all outdated drivers in one go.
1. Download Advanced Driver Updater by clicking the button below.
2. Install and open the application. Click the Start Scan Now button.
3. The app will display a list of outdated drivers. Click the Update button next to the graphics driver.
4. Restart your PC to complete the driver update.
Why Should You Update Drivers?
Updating drivers is essential for maintaining your computer’s performance, stability, and security. It helps improve hardware functionality, resolve bugs, and ensure compatibility with the latest software and operating systems. Updated drivers often include critical security patches, bug fixes, and optimizations, reducing the risk of crashes, errors, and performance issues.
Method 6. Check for Malware or Virus Infection
Malware infections can sometimes cause this error by attempting to execute code in memory areas that shouldn’t be executable. Run a full scan with your antivirus software to ensure your system is clean. You can use Windows Security or any third-party antimalware app. Here are the steps to use Windows Security:
1. Press Win + S to open the Search box and type “ Windows Security.”
2. Click on the result with the same name as you typed.
3. The Windows Security app will now open. Click on the Virus & Threat Protection box.
4. Next, click on Scan Options and choose Full Scan.5. Finally, click on the Scan Now button.
Method 7. Check for Hardware Issues (Memory or RAM)
In rare cases, failing or incompatible RAM can cause memory-related errors. Running a memory diagnostic can help identify potential hardware issues. The Memory Diagnostic tool is a built-in utility that allows scanning the memory for errors. Here is what you need to do:
1. Press the Windows keys, type “Windows Memory Diagnostic,” and click the result with the same name.
2. A new dialog box will open, and click “Restart Now…”.
3. Follow the instructions, and the tool will check and fix memory-related errors.

Method 8. Check Application Permissions
If the application you’re using is running with insufficient permissions, it may be unable to access or execute the required memory. Try running the program with Administrator privileges.
- Right-click the application and select Run as Administrator.
- Alternatively, change the program’s compatibility settings to always run as Administrator.
[Conclusion]
The “Attempted Execute of Noexecute Memory” error is typically caused by an application attempting to execute code in a protected or non-executable memory area, often due to DEP (Data Execution Prevention) or NX (No-Execute) settings. This can be triggered by incompatible software, corrupted system files, malware, outdated drivers, or misconfigured system settings. You can usually resolve this issue by updating software, scanning for malware, adjusting DEP settings, and ensuring that system files are intact.
