Unable to handle kernel paging request

Most of the time errors in the operating system are caused by an incomplete installation of an application, a driver error, a support application that was accidentally uninstalled, a file component of the operating system was accidentally got deleted, a hardware failure just like in an input/output (I/O) error caused by a failing hard drive.

To check the integrity of the hard drive, run any disk utility application to diagnose it physically including its contents.

If the damage is severe where running any application is already impossible, remove the hard drive and attach it to another computer and check it there.

If there is no problem with the disk drive, formatting your hard drive and installing a fresh copy of the operating system might fix the problem.
