Bug Check 0x122: WHEA_INTERNAL_ERROR
The WHEA_INTERNAL_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x00000122. This bug check indicates that an internal error in the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) has occurred. Errors can result from a bug in the implementation of a platform-specific hardware error driver (PSHED) plug-in supplied by a vendor, the firmware implementation of error records, or the firmware implementation of error injection.

WHEA received an uncorrected error source from an invalid error source. |
0xA |
Error source type |
Source ID |
0 |
Failed to allocate an error record for an uncorrected error. |
0xB |

Remarks
The !analyze debug extension displays information about the bug check and can be helpful in determining the root cause.
If Parameter 1 is equal to 0x6, 0x9, 0xA, or 0xB, one of the other parameters contains the error source type. The following table gives possible values for the error source type.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | Machine check exception |
| 0x01 | Corrected machine check |
| 0x02 | Corrected platform error |
| 0x03 | Non-maskable interrupt |
| 0x04 | PCI express error |
| 0x05 | Other types of error sources/Generic |
| 0x06 | IA64 INIT error source |
| 0x07 | BOOT error source |
| 0x08 | SCI-based generic error source |
| 0x09 | Itanium machine check abort |
| 0x0A | Itanium machine check |
| 0x0B | Itanium corrected platform error |
