We suggest Fortect to handle a variety of CPU-related issues:
TheEXCEPTION_SCOPE_INVALIDBlue Screen of Death (BSoD) appears due to corrupted system files, conflicting third-party apps, buggy Windows updates, or malfunctioning hardware. Microsoft’s official website tells us that the error is triggered after the detection of an internal inconsistency in exception dispatching.
Before you move to the slightly complex solutions, disconnect non-critical hardware/peripherals, install all pending Windows updates, and disable any overclocking if applied.
How can I fix EXCEPTION_SCOPE_INVALID?
1. Perform a clean boot
Once the PC restarts after theclean boot, verify whether the BSOD is fixed. If yes, one of the disabled apps or services was the underlying cause. So, enable them one at a time, restart the PC after each, and as soon as theEXCEPTION_SCOPE_INVALIDerror reappears, the one reconfigured last is the problem.
Now, if it’s an app,uninstall it, and for a service, disabled it for the time being until an update is pushed out. For third-party services, you must contact the developer!
2. Run the DISM and SFC scans
3. Uninstall conflicting applications
Sometimes, a quick app removal won’t work due to leftover cache, program files, and Registry entries. In this case, you must use atop-rated software uninstallerto delete all these in one go.
4. Check the RAM and disk for issues
The built-inCheck Diskutilitycan help repair trivial issues with the hard drive, including bad sectors, which can be the reason behindEXCEPTION_SCOPE_INVALIDon your PC.
IfWindows Memory Diagnosticcan’t detect any faults, I recommend usingMemTest86+, an advanced open-source RAM testing tool that will run a wide array of scans on individual memory modules and find even the smallest of issues.
In case any problems are detected, it’s best that you replace the malfunctioning module with a new compatible RAM stick.
5. Reinstall Windows
When nothing else works, the last option is toreinstall Windowsfrom scratch. Since there’s a chance of data loss, I recommend moving any critical files in the system drive to external storage.
To reinstall Windows > download theMedia Creation ToolfromMicrosoft’s official websiteon a working PC > connect a USB flash drive > run the downloaded setup >create a bootable USB> plug it into the affected computer >change the boot orderto the flash drive > load the flash drive > follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
