Windows 10: BSOD after upgrading to W10 [UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION]

A failing hard drive was identified, when the IRST drivers are being problematic it is either a hard drive problem or driver problem where in this case it most likely was the hard drive.

 

Thanks for getting back at me.

I updated all my drivers 2 days ago by using "Driver Booster 3", and soon after got a BSOD with error message DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. After some googling I found a fix for this (Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD, Promises Fix), and it was indeed the iaStor driver that caused it.

I still however get BSOD (unexpected_store_exception) and have ordered a new SSD and will probably replace it soon.

 

I recommend to never again use driver update programs, they install corrupted/wrong drivers and thus causing more problems.
There are many who will claim otherwise, but I've seen it happen many times that such programs are the root cause of many problems thanks to the installed drivers.

Best way to install drivers? Manually, takes time but garanteed proper done with the correct onces.

 

Alright well thanks dudeweedlmao for the update!

And I do hope you get your problems sorted out with the new SSD!

 

Yea, I kind of suspected that but it was a desperate measure, which gave me a new type of BSOD, but that one was easy to fix. Kinda wish I never upgraded to W10 *Tongue. At least I learned i had a faulty HDD and would probably have gotten issues regardless.

 

I understand it was a desperate measure, there are enough who have done similar things in desperate measure including myself *Smile

Let us know how it goes when your SSD has arrived.
