How to fixSPD-CORRUPTION

SPD data chip damage

What this error means

SPD-CORRUPTION is a medium-severity system memory (RAM) problem. The Serial Presence Detect (SPD) chip on the RAM module has corrupted data, the system does not know what timing and frequency to set. It sometimes comes down to SPD read/write voltage failure. The steps below are ordered to resolve this efficiently.

Before you begin

Save open work and back up important files. Note any recent driver or hardware changes. If Windows cannot start, use the startup guide first.
