Hi, I have been having some BSOD issues lately and am not entirely sure how to resolve them.
The first to occur was a "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x1E"
The second to occur twice in a row was "KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR 0x7a"
I would appreciate some help in resolving this issue.
Regards, Matt
 
Solution
kernel_data_inpage_error indicates that a driver was unable to read in data from storage.

happens when a hard drive starts to fail, or goes to sleep and can not wake up, or cables becomes disconnected,
or the driver's data in memory becomes corrupted and it is trying to read a bad memory address.

Yeah my SSD erased itself completely :/ the system up completely and wouldn't boot on restart...the storage had been hanged to unallocated space so information was left on it :/
This is the same thing that happened to my 2TB HDD
Have you any idea why this might be happening?
 
if it happens on two different drives, I would be looking at the SATA connections or the driver for the SATA controller.
if your motherboard has two SATA controllers, I would put the drive on the slower controller, the one supported directly by the CPU Chipset drivers rather than the add on secondary SATA controller which often require a driver update to work correctly.

there are also malware that will attack storage drivers, so I would run a malwarebytes scan.
and run cmd.exe as an admin and run the system file checker
sfc.exe /scannow
and confirm it can repair any bad files, if it can not repair the files then run
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
this will get a known good copy of the core windows files from a trusted source on the internet (microsoft update server, i think)
