WHEA error in Windows installer
16 hours ago, da na said:Great, thank you. My W7 Ultimate disc uses the same installer version as Windows 10, but switching to an OEM Windows 7 Pro SP1 disc gives the error:
The exception unknown software exception (0xe0000100) occurred in the application at location 0x00007FFD11E53E49.
Transcribed word for word. A rather bizarrely worded error message but at least it has a code I can look up to find a Microsoft Support article telling me to run sfc/scannow.
Sorry, I should have specified, it's just with the WHEA_Uncorrectable_Error (Machine_Check_Exception on Linux kernel panics) that these are useful when you don't have a dump file. The main suspect is the CPU (The only storage to get WHEA errors is NVMe which I doubt this machine has). Just want to check that it's not some integrated PCIe like the network card or audio. Not sure if machines of this age have M.2 WiFi.
If you get a WHEA BSOD in Win7, take a picture of the screen.
