The instructions below refer to using PowerShell for this, but they will also work for cmd, too. You can quickly test this using Window’s built-in system file checker ( sfc) command from an elevated PowerShell terminal or command line.
If you’ve checked your hardware and you’re confident that there are no faults or issues, an unexpected store exception error could point to another likely option: corrupted system files. Graphics cards and system memory can also cause this BSOD error to pop up, so test for bad memory using tools like memtest, or use software like FurMark to test your graphics card.
If it is, get your files backed up quickly, because if your system drive fails, you’ll be left trying to extract files from a dead drive, which isn’t an easy process and will probably fail.ĭon’t forget to test your other system components, too. You should check your hard drive for errors to see if this is the cause.
