Mark memory page as invalid
 

Does anybody know a way to mark a physical page of memory as invalid or bad somehow on Windows x64?

One of my RAM modules sometimes has a single-bit error at the same fixed address (found by memtest86+). The memory page is located in higher RAM, so it will be unused right after a reboot, but eventually Windows will use it for programs (unexpected crashes) or caching (corrupted files). I want to make sure Windows never tries to store anything on that memory page.

I can't get a single RAM replacement module, I would need to buy 6 new modules. I would like to prevent that if there was an easier fix.

You can mark memory as bad.

But first I would move the defected RAM module far away from Memory Bank 0 (first slot that's going to be used) and then tell Windows _not_ to use that part of the RAM module using bcdedit commands:
bcdedit /set badmemorylist xxx xx
bcdedit /set badmemoryaccess No

I read the bcdedit documentation and hoped to find something there, but I only found truncating memory and burning memory settings. I hate it when something from Microsoft has useful features and they don't care about documenting them.

The corrupted RAM module is at bank 4. I could put it even further away, but I then I would need to run memtest again to find out the new location, so I'm sticking with this where I already know the bad memory address.

"bcdedit /set badmemorylist" will not work, the correct syntax would be "bcdedit /set {badmemory} badmemorylist".

So now I'm hoping to see no more corrupted files or random crashes in the future.

Sorry, I haven't used that command before. I just did some quick googling.

Anyways, hopefully it works as expected.
