My usual setup is two SSDs, one with windows 7 and one with windows 10 for different work apps, i choose at startup in windows boot manager. and then a 2 TB HD for pure storage.
today i can only start from the windows 10 drive. if i connect the windows 7 or the 2 tb storage drive i got BSOD with stop code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

what should i do?

That error should have nothing to do with Windows. It's a CPU error.

 

Reset your CMOS and get rid of any overclocks you have on your CPU

After you do that try booting into Windows in safe mode with networking. Make sure ALL your drivers are up to date, and you have ALL the latest Windows updates.

thanks for the help! this is what ended up happeing.

drive wasnt booting so i started fcking with bios settings.... then eventually i got my first drive on Sata port 1 to boot after going into cmd prompt from win10 install media and using commands : bootrec /fixMBR,  bootrec /Fixboot, and bootrec /rebuildBCD.  then i was able to boot. but then my other two drives when connected would cause the same BSOD again.... then i realized i changed a lot of bios settings before all this, so eventually changed everything in bios back to what it was before all this mess, and then it booted but the boot loader menu to choose boot drive was in Metro style and time out was only 2 seconds. so then i googled and ran some commands to make it back to the windows 7 style which i like more and set a longer time out. now everything is fine.

 

i am just really baffled as why ALL of this happened including little things like bootloader style and time out changed just from me unlplugging all my drives (when computer and psu is off obvs) and then plugging in a spare drive with clean install of windows 10 on it. im taking my computer in for repair today at microcenter and didnt want my usual drives with personal info in the machine when its sitting there.  so i was testing the spare drive yesterday before heading over there today, and then all of this happened when i tried to go back to my usual drives plugged in without the spare one

Defective Sata cable or Sata port ... I've has WHEA errors from a defective PCIe port before.

 

Could also be a defective drive, do a surface test.
