I just edited a video of mine and it didn't occur, but while editing the next video it happened out of no where. This problem has only occurred while using Davinci Resolve as well.

  2. System Thread Exception Not Handled?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your inconvenience. We will assist you to resolve this issue.

    The System Thread Exception Not Handled error in Windows mostly occur due to incompatible or old graphics card drivers. System Thread Exception Not Handled error is often displayed along with the Blue Screen of Death

    I suggest you to boot into Safe Mode environment and update your graphic drivers.

    Method 1: Update drivers.

    I suggest you to update graphic drivers and check if it helps. Follow the steps given below.

    • Press Windows key + X key and click on
      Device manager.
    • Search for Display Adapters.
    • Right-click on the graphics
      card
      and click on Update driver software.


    You may also download the latest graphic drivers from the manufacturer’s website and install them on your computer.

    If the issue still persist, I suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check.



    Method 2:



    Follow the steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode.

    • Download the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
    • Right-click on the installer and click on "Properties".
    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select previous Operating System from the drop down.
    • Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.

    Hope it helps. Do let us know if your issue is resolved. For any further information, feel free to contact us.

    Thank you.

    dxgmms2.sys System Thread Exception Not Handled when using Davinci Resolve

    BSOD unhandled system thread exception (dxgmms2.sys)

    Old main hard drive died. Got a new HDD. Required a new install of Windows 10 of course. No other hardware changes. Computer was perfectly fine before the complete flattening and reinstall of Windows 10 due to new HDD.

    Ever since then, whenever I try to play games I often get a BSOD with the error message: unhandled_system_thread_exception (dxgmms2.sys)

    It happens at random times. Sometimes I'm good for hours, but most often it happens within the first 1-20 minutes.

    I tried updating my ATI drivers to the latest and it made no difference.

    I followed instructions here:

    Redirecting

    And could not get my computer to boot without BSODing after setting up the verifier, even after doing things like verifier /reset. Ended up having to do a system restore to get back into Windows.

    So now I have a bunch of minidump files. I used WhoCrashed to examine them.

    The DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATIONs were caused by:

    This was probably caused by the following module: vboxnetadp6.sys (VBoxNetAdp6+0xD0E3)

    Bugcheck code: 0xC4 (0x2000, 0xFFFFF80EA38AD0E3, 0x0, 0x54525049)

    Error: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

    file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\vboxnetadp6.sys

    product: Oracle VM VirtualBox

    company: Oracle Corporation

    description: VirtualBox NDIS 6.0 Host-Only Network Adapter Driver

    I think these are false positives. I'm not running virtual box when I BSOD with the dxgmms2.sys problems. Those BSOD only occur when trying to play games. So it makes sense that there is a problem with a video card driver, not a virtual box network adapter.

    The unhandled system thread exception (dxgmms2.sys) were caused by:

    This was probably caused by the following module: dxgmms2.sys (dxgmms2+0x4FA76)

    Bugcheck code: 0x1000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80582DCFA76, 0xFFFF98014858A558, 0xFFFF980148589D80)

    Error: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M

    file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\dxgmms2.sys

    product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System

    company: Microsoft Corporation

    description: DirectX Graphics MMS

    Which doesn't really tell me anything new.

    I think my next steps is to try to do a full removal of my video card drivers and reinstall them from scratch. Frustrating that this is happening on a fresh Windows 10 install.

    Any other ideas or insights?
