The "Death Screen", denoted by DSoD, is familiar to almost every user who has at least once encountered Windows operating systems. Its appearance can be caused by various reasons. Using Windows 10 as an example , consider situations with the SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error. What it is, how to eliminate such malfunctions, it will be easier to understand if you find out the main types of errors of this kind and the causes of their occurrence.
BSOD with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error: causes
Actually, as a rule, in Windows 10 such a screen is slightly different from everything that was observed in earlier systems, and it looks somewhat more noble or something. Nevertheless, the reasons for its appearance in most cases remain almost the same.
It can be anything. Maybe the occurrence of the SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error is due to the lack of space on the hard drive to install or start the system, maybe the problem is a driver of some device that is not working, installed incorrectly or incompatible with the system, maybe the reason lies in the BIOS version or settings, or the problem is in the operating system bars memory. The option is not ruled out, when remote access to the system is currently using some program. But you never know what can manifest itself!
Message SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (Windows 10): Interpretation
To begin with, it should be understood that the error number STOP: 0x0000007E, corresponding to the above message, is a common case. To clarify the causes of its occurrence, an additional description should be considered.
So, for example, the code with the description 0x80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an error associated with the violation of the data link. Interpretation 0x80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates the impossibility of attaching a kernel debugger. Option 0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION reports violations when accessing RAM, etc. Here you can also find such types of codes as 0xFC937E04, 0xFC938104 or 0x804E518E. But now the most common problems will be addressed.
Simplest Troubleshooting Techniques
The most commonplace situation when a SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error occurs is the usual hardware mismatch with the requirements of the operating system itself.
To eliminate such failures, before installing the same Windows 10 or upgrading an existing system to the tenth version, you should first thoroughly study the basic minimum system requirements, for example, on the official Microsoft website, and compare them with the capabilities of your system, having previously obtained information from the properties menu, called by the right Click on the “My Computer” icon.
Suppose everything is in order with the system, but again a screen appears with the inscription SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. What to do now? First, check the device drivers in the appropriate "Manager". Usually video adapters “fly out”, sometimes the reason is sound cards. In such cases, it is recommended to completely remove the drivers from the system when loading in safe mode, and then reinstall them, but only the latest versions designed specifically for this system and downloaded from the official site of the equipment manufacturer. Otherwise, the screen with the message SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Windows 10 will display again. The same applies to hard drives, especially those cases when they were replaced, or in the same BIOS the wrong switching of SATA controllers in SCSI / IDE modes was established. In some cases, such equipment will generally have to be completely replaced.
In addition, it is advisable to remove all drivers without a digital signature at least during the installation of the system. You can simply move them to another location, boot from the recovery console, reinstall the SCSI or IDE device drivers and define them in the Drivers folder in the System32 directory of the main system directory, after which the installation can be continued.
Now a few words about the BIOS. The cause of errors like SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED can be directly related to it. In some cases, you may need to install a new version or, more simply, firmware. But in the most extreme case, with complete incompatibility, the BIOS will have to be completely replaced.
But back to the working system. It may be that in the settings it will be necessary to disable the Shadowing and Caching functions. True, this is not always necessary.
Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, before applying any measures to eliminate the problems that have arisen, it is necessary, at least by the type of the error message code, to determine the cause that led to its occurrence. But, it seems, none of the described cases, probably, apart from flashing the BIOS or installing a new version, is too complicated for understanding and execution.
