Safe next steps
- For 779 (ERROR_MEMORY_HARDWARE), identify the device and exact model that produced the code; record recent driver, firmware, or hardware changes.
- Check Device Manager and the manufacturer’s official support page. A driver name or code is a lead, not proof the device is damaged.
- Stop if the device overheats, disconnects repeatedly, or needed files are at risk.
After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
