Hi Jefferseden,
Welcome to the forum.
Are you able to provide the full error message re your
System Thread Exception Not Handled error message.
Typically such errors will list a driver file as the culprit.
The common file that can generate this error is a Display driver, but it could be another driver you have installed too; hence needing to see the full error message.
A couple of things you can do assuming you are able to log in to Desktop would be to:
- Right-click on Start then left-click on Device Manager
- In the Device Manager take a look at your drivers for any warning symbols indicating an issue with a driver. If you discover one then consider uninstalling and updating the driver, or even rolling back the driver to an earlier version. The idea here is to get a driver that will be compatible with your current OS settings.
If you can identify the driver via the error message itself, then another option would be to:
- Right-click on Start
- Left-click on Command Prompt (Admin)
- When the User Account Control dialog pops up click Yes
- You'll now see the command prompt: C:\Windows\System32>
At this prompt type cd drivers then press Enter key which will take you to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers>
Now lets say your System Thread error indicated atiky.sys was the problem driver
At the prompt now type ren atiky.sys atiky.old then press Enter key
This will rename the problem driver and force Windows to seek a new version of it when it next needs that driver (Usually after a reboot of the computer) - thus you are allow Windows to attempt to find the best driver for the detected hardware. That may resolve your issue too.
