Addressing Persistent BSOD Errors: ‘WHEA Uncorrectable Error’ and ‘Unexpected Store Exception’ on Windows 10
Encountering recurring Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors can be a frustrating experience, especially when they persist despite attempting various solutions. Recently, I faced a series of such issues on my Windows 10 system, notably the “WHEA Uncorrectable Error” and “Unexpected Store Exception” errors. This post outlines the steps I took to troubleshoot, the challenges encountered, and insights that may assist others facing similar problems.
Initial Troubleshooting Attempts
Following my previous efforts documented earlier, I sought to resolve these errors by implementing standard troubleshooting techniques. These included:
- Upgrading the system with a new USB drive.
- Moving the M.2 drive to an alternate slot to rule out physical connection issues.
- Installing a fresh copy of Windows 10.
Despite these measures, the system continued to freeze during or shortly after Windows 10 installation, indicating underlying hardware or compatibility issues.
Cloning Drive Challenges
To preserve my data and configurations, I attempted to clone my existing drive onto the new SSD. I used Clonezilla, a popular disk cloning utility; however, the cloning process failed, likely due to the failing nature of the old drive. Recognizing that the drive’s health might be compromised, I then switched to OpenSuperClone in hopes of a successful transfer.
Regrettably, when booting from the USB to run OpenSuperClone, my PC would freeze approximately two minutes into the process, rendering it impossible to complete the cloning or even perform basic troubleshooting.
Latest Diagnostic Data
To aid further analysis, I collected and uploaded recent minidump files associated with the BSOD crashes. These dump files contain vital information about the system’s state at the time of the errors and can be instrumental in pinpointing the root cause. They are accessible via the following link:
Key Takeaways and Recommendations
-
Hardware Integrity: Persistent BSOD errors, especially those related to hardware errors like “WHEA Uncorrectable Error,” often point to hardware issues such as failing drives, RAM, or motherboard components. Running diagnostic tools (e.g., S.M.A.R.T. checks, memory tests) can help identify faulty hardware.
