Fix all BSoD events and keep computer safe and clean:
Fortect will find the cause of BSoD and fix it. Here is how to do it with 3 easy steps:
TheTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILUREBSoD (Blue Screen of Death), with error code0x00000108, is caused due to issues in the file system or the storage disk.
This typically happens when you use outdated or corrupt drivers, there aren’t enough available resources, the disk or RAM malfunctions, or a third-party program conflicts with Windows.
Before you move to the solutions, restart the PC, disconnect non-critical peripherals, install pending Windows updates, and if theTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILUREerror appears after downloading one,uninstall the recent Windows update. For most, these basic checks should fix things!
How do I fix THIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILURE error?
1. Update the problematic driver
In 2 out of 5 cases,updating the disk drivershould fix theTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILUREBSoD in Windows 11. Remember, the error is also sometimes caused by corrupted SCSI and IDE drivers. So, check those as well!
If Windows can’t find a better version, head to the manufacturer’s website, locate the newest release, and thenmanually install the latest driver.
2. Check the disk and RAM for issues
2.1 Repair the hard disk
According to Microsoft, bad sectors on the hard disk can causeTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILURE. To fix things,repair the hard diskand run built-in utilities likeCheck Disk.
2.2 Check the RAM
WhenWindows Memory Diagnosticcan’t find any faults, I recommend using an advanced RAM testing tool likeMemtest 86+. It’s open-source and runs a wide array of scans on individual RAM modules, identifying even the trickiest of the problems!
Also, if possible, disconnect all the RAM modules, wipe them to clear any carbon deposits, and then reseat memory sticks in their respective slots.
3. Increase the virtual memory
TheTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILUREerror also arises due to low nonpaged pool memory. In this case, you have two options, eitherincrease the virtual memoryor increase the physical RAM by adding additional memory modules.
4. Uninstall conflicting third-party apps
Apps like disk defragmenters, hard drive optimization tools, third-party antiviruses, and backup software that continuously run in the background are often the underlying cause behindTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILUREon Windows 10. Anduninstalling the appshould fix the BSoD!
5. Reinstall Windows
When nothing else works, the last option is toreinstall Windows. I recommend you move all critical personal files to external storage beforehand to avoid data loss.
To reinstall Windows, go toMicrosoft’s official website> download theMedia Creation Tool> use it tocreate a bootable USB drive> connect the flash drive to the affected PC >change the boot orderto the flash drive > run the setup to install Windows.
After a reinstall, you shouldn’t encounterTHIRD_PARTY_FILE_SYSTEM_FAILUREon Windows anymore.
