SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED: what is this error, how to fix it?

The "death screen", denoted DSoD, is familiar to almost every user who has ever encountered Windows operating systems. Its appearance can be caused by various reasons. On an example of Windows 10, consider the situation with the error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. What it is like to eliminate such malfunctions will be easier to understand if you find out the main types of errors of this kind and the reasons for their occurrence.

BSOD with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error: causes

Generally, as a rule, in Windows 10 such screen is slightly different from all that was observed in the early systems, and it looks somewhat more noble or something. Nevertheless, the reasons for its appearance in most cases remain practically the same.

It can be anything. Maybe the appearance of the SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error is due to a lack of space on the hard drive for installing or starting the system, maybe the problem is in the inoperative, improperly installed or incompatible with the system driver of some device, maybe the reason lies in the BIOS version or settings or the matter in the slats of the operational Memory. The option is also possible, when remote access is provided to the system at the moment with the help of some program. Yes, you never know what can manifest!

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED message (Windows 10): interpretation

First of all, it should be understood that error number STOP: 0x0000007E, corresponding to the above message, is a general case. To clarify the reasons for its appearance, an additional description should be considered.

For example, the code with a description of 0x80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an error related to the violation of the data link. Interpreting 0x80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates that the kernel debugger can not be attached. Variant 0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION reports violations while accessing RAM, etc. You can also find such variants of codes as 0xFC937E04, 0xFC938104 or 0x804E518E. But now the most frequently encountered problems will be considered.

The simplest methods for troubleshooting

The most trivial situation when the SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error occurs is the usual incompatibility of hardware with the requirements of the operating system itself.

To eliminate such failures, before installing the same Windows 10 or upgrading the existing system to the tenth version, you must first thoroughly study the basic minimum system requirements, for example, on the official Microsoft website, and compare them with the capabilities of your system by first obtaining information from the properties menu called by the right By clicking on the icon "My computer".

Let's say the system is OK, but again a screen appears with the inscription SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. What to do now? To begin, check the device drivers in the appropriate "Manager". Typically, "take off" video adapters, sometimes the reason in sound cards. In such cases, it is recommended to completely remove the drivers from the system when booting in safe mode, then reinstall them, but only the latest versions calculated for this system and downloaded from the official website of the equipment manufacturer. Otherwise, the screen with the message SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Windows 10 will issue again. The same goes for hard disks, especially when they were replaced, or the wrong BIOS switches SATA controllers in SCSI / IDE modes. In some cases, such equipment in general will have to be completely replaced.

In addition, it is desirable at least for the time of installation of the system to remove all drivers that do not have a digital signature. You can simply move them to another location, boot from the Recovery Console, reinstall the SCSI or IDE drivers and locate them in the Drivers folder in the System32 directory of the main system directory, after which you can continue the installation.

Now a few words about the BIOS. The cause of errors like SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED with it can be connected in the most direct way. In some cases, you may need to install a new version or, more simply, firmware. But in the extreme case, with full incompatibility, the BIOS will have to be completely replaced.

However, let's return to the running system. It may be that in the settings you need to disable the Shadowing and Caching functions. True, this is not always necessary.

Conclusion

Proceeding from the above, before applying any measures to eliminate the problems, it is necessary at least by the type of the error message code to determine the cause that led to its appearance. But, I think, none of the cases described, probably, besides the BIOS flashing or installing a new version, it is too complicated for understanding and execution is not.
