Windows 10 32-bit setup issues on an SSD are occurring due to unhandled exceptions.
I was still working through setting up my PC for 32-bit Windows 10. I first put in a 32-bit Windows 10 on a 2TB HDD, which performed very poorly. I suggested my boss upgrade to a 500GB Crucial P3 NVMe SSD to improve performance. Today the SSD arrived, and after installing Windows 10, I encountered a BSOD when trying to install the OS with the desired drive. The error indicated "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" and showed "What failed: dump stornvme.sys." This confused me because the drive worked just fine on the HDD. I tried reinstalling the installation media, hoping the file might be damaged, but the same BSOD appeared during setup. What next steps should I consider to resolve this issue?
Removed the battery and the problem persisted—same error occurred again.
This message comes from the Windows kernel indicating a driver issue, but it can't provide further details. The stornvme.sys driver stopped working and isn't supplying more information. Consider updating your BIOS firmware or the NVMe drive's firmware. Some users succeeded by booting into Linux (like Ubuntu) via a live USB and then wiping all partitions on the NVMe drive before reinstalling Windows.
It's a crucial P3 NVMe drive compatible with PCIe 3.0x4. I might use the one I found to test it tomorrow.
