Thanks for getting back to me. I've tried that, cracking out CMD and even using windows to try and make a side administrator user to open it and transfer everything across doesn't want to work. As the users won't be made into a profile that will log in on windows. I followed some tutorials to do that online but none worked. Frankly my windows install is kinda jank anyway, so I've decided that it's really such a hastle, so, I'm going to copy my entire boot SSD to my spare SSD, I've had to delete a few programs and games and offload my bigger folders to hard drives. I'll use xcopy in CMD to copy all the data from one to the other. Then just format C: and reinstall from my Media Creation Tool. That way it'll be a new fresh windows. Then ill copy everything back from my spare SSD to the boot drive and move back the folders from the HDD and reinstall the programs I had to delete. It was really a few games and Adobe stuff. Which Is super easy to redo.

Hey gang. Went to boot on the PC today, and the password Ive used forever on my Microsoft account wouldn't log me in. Says that I'm using the wrong password and to use the Microsoft password. This has kinda freaked me out cause I didn't think I did anything that was gonna kill it. I changed my password on the Microsoft site, didn't work on the PC I Changed the password IN the login screen and even though it went in and changed successfully - verified by logging in to the website again, it changed properly, but windows didn't accept it. Still telling me that it wasn't the right one from the Microsoft account I made a Windows 10 installation media on an external HDD. And tried to repair the whole shooting match Uninstalling updates, SFC scannow, DISM restore Health. Just in case of registry errors, even tried to make a new administrator account in command line, but it didn't go into the local group and so I couldn't access it from login screen. I even considered trust that Windows.old would keep my apps and crap on my OS drive if I reinstalled from Media Creation Tool, but it wouldn't let me upgrade outside of being IN the windows environment, and I can't re-install windows OVER the old one cause it doesn't have another partition, and my external drive is GPT not MBR.. So I'm at a complete loss. Idk what did this or how this happened. But I have no ideas anymore. I'd really like not to have to wipe the ENTIRE DRIVE cause that would be a huge set back, and would take FOREVER to fix as my OS drive is a 1tb SSD that's like 300 odd gig used If anyone has any ideas, let me know! Cheers Darkus.

HOLY SHIT YOU ARE A GOD DAMN LIFE SAVER I did exactly as you said and scrolled through the 400 god damn driver entries in mydrivers.txt and I figured that I'd give the Corsair drivers a go, but figured there might be some others I might need to kill cause the dates on some of those old drivers were actually disgusting For me, specifically the drivers labelled "OEM111.INF" and "OEM32.INF" which were both signed to Corsair. Removed those. Re booted and bingo! Back to windows! - windows needed me to sign back in with my Microsoft account, and go through the like tail end of the windows install bits, like if I'd like office or if I want my data sent places or if I want a pin on my computer etc. But it works! God damn legend. What a hero Thanks so much

So! After a few trials and tribulations and a flakey internet connection, I was able to get an instance of Ubuntu Linux running on my PC off of an SD Card (id have used a USB, but i didnt have a big enough one lying around) So far, it appears that all of my hardware: CPU, Ram, GPU etc - they all appear to work just fine. I'm able to access my Boot SSD from inside Ubuntu, and it seems to be working as intended as a storage device, it appears that all my data is still there. Is it worth pulling all my data off my SSD and over to one of my larger HDD's in the system, then resetting windows 10 and copying all my old data, files, programs and what not back to the ssd off of the hdd? or would something there not work so well? It Appears that its just the OS thats gone ka-blewey and not the SSD itself

Just tried both ram sticks in every ram slot on the board and every configuration of stick/slot I could think of AND cleared CMOS Nada. Nothing. Still the same BSOD every time

I don't think I can do that as i can't even load Into the OS. It sort of boot loops to windows recovery mode I can't even get into safemode as it will BSOD the same way

Hey there! Thanks for such a in depth reply I'm going to be writing this reply as I go through your steps Chkntfs C : comes back as "The type of file system is NTFS. C : is not dirty" After a restart, nothing changed SFC /scannow: I ran this command and after it scanned, it responded with a "verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested Operation" Trying to use your DISM /online /cleanup-image command replies with "Error 50. DISM doesnt support servicing windows PE with the /Online option, the DISM log file can be found at X:\windows\logs\dism\dism.log" Bootrec /fixMbr: "the operation completed successfully" Bootrec /fixBoot: "access is denied" (legit that's all it says...) Bootrec /ScanOS: after waiting for it to finish it replies "successfully scanned windows installations. The identified windows installations: 0. The task completed successfully" (That last one is a little concerning) After doing all this I attempted to re start the computer and I still get the same "System Thread Exception Not Handled" BSOD as before Blast. any other ideas you might have?

It's a 2x16 GB kit, and it's got no overclock, and I've even disabled XMP as part of my troubleshooting.

G'day guys. Got a weird one for you today. So, this Blue Screen Of Death took me by surprise today. I was sitting there at my desk on a Zoom Meeting - not really paying attention, I had just opened a YouTube tab on my 2nd monitor and BOOM blue screen. And ever since, the computer won't load or start into windows, and simply blue screens shortly after windows attempts to boot, and gives me the "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" and interestingly does NOT give a .sys or other kind of file that could be the problem, as similar system thread exceptions I've seen online will tell you the culprit. This is odd as this system has worked solid as a rock with no overclocks for fully 2 or 3 years The Specs: Gigabyte Gaming K3 z270 Mobo Intel Core i7 7700k Nvidia GTX 1080 (Gigabyte) 32 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram Intel 730 250gb ssd (boot drive, but plenty of mass storage HDD) 800 watt PSU (EVGA bronze) I've searched online and here on the forum and none of the non drastic solutions seem to have helped It fails to self diagnose/repair I've tried every Command Prompt input I've come across. - no luck Tried both a Windows Recovery Drive, and Windows Media Creation tool. - no luck Removing all USB devices - no luck Unplugging and re plugging all power leads inside the PC - nothing. I can't even boot into safe mode! And turning off Forced Driver Signatures doesn't help either. Both Safe Mode and Disabled Forced Signatures lead to the same "System Thread Exception Not Handled" error with no file listed as the issue. As far as I can tell, my next only step is to "Restore Windows 10" which will either remove all files and programs, or just all Programs. - this isn't super ideal because that SSD isn't backed up (yeah, yeah, I know) and while this isn't the end of the world because it's mostly just boot drive/OS crap/drivers.. I'd much rather not have to scrap it all because of the headache it would be having to re-install every driver, program and software (I have my Adobe suite on that SSD) If anyone has a good suggestion or work around, or has an idea that I've not thought of. Lemme know! Cheers. P.s. let me know if you need more info, or clarification. I can give you what you need to know but it might take me a little longer as I'm running on an older, crappier PC as a spare or my phone to do things with

I've matched all the Subnet Mask's, and made sure that each machine has their own unique IPv4 IP address, and i've turned off Windows Firewall temporarily to ping them, and neither machine pings the other. Even after taking the switch out of the network entirely and plugging them in to each other directly, still couldn't ping them. Both Windows 10 and 7 say that it is an Unidentified Network (even with new Ethernet Cables), when both machines are on the home WiFi, they both ping perfectly, but in trying to make the Switch create a network, it's just not letting it though. Also, there was no driver CD with the Switch, and the manual is a single A4 page with a diagram on what you can plug into the switch, which is frustrating.

I think this is part of my problem I'm just running a straight Network Switch, nothing else, i dont have a router to use in this system, thats cool though, I can grab one that also will be free! Thanks for dealing with my Idiocy guys!

@Lurick Yeah, i've tried to ping both computers from each computer. each time CMD returns a "destination host unreachable" both pc's are on 255.255.255.0 subnet mask

Actually, Mint in box, Still wrapped.

G'day guys. Here is a fun one for ya. I've recently nabbed myself a free Network Switch (a Netgear GS308P), and my idea was to network my two windows computers together. (my main is W10 and the other is W7) ideally i'd like my W7 machine to be a Render server for my Adobe Premiere Pro projects (cause i do a lot in Premiere) Now, my problem is that after plugging in the Switch to power and plugging in the two pc's, they can read that there is networking hardware there (they both ping the switches IP), but even setting up the two IPv4, IP's as 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.21 respectively, and opening up the Network Discovery settings and stuff, but for some reason they aren't talking to each other... Anyone know whats up? What i'm missing? What i'm doing wrong? Lemme know! Cheers!

Thanks Mate! Big help!
