  1. Frequent BSOD: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED


    Hi there,Over the last month, multiple times a day I receive the CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error and my laptop restarts. This does not seem to be related to any specific activity; it maybe happens a bit more frequently close to startup, but can happen minutes or hours into a session as well. It does not appear to be related to any specific activity.After trying Windows Update repair, I also reset my PC, but the problem persisted. Memory Diagnostics shows no errors. I will note that both times this appears to have started after installing a driver package from my laptop OEM Framework.Any help is

    :)

  3. Frequent BSOD: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF) Error on Windows 10 and Windows 11

    Hello Microsoft Community,

    I've been encountering persistent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crashes for the past two months. These issues started on Windows 10 and have continued even after upgrading to Windows 11. I’ve tried multiple solutions, but the problem persists. Here's a summary of what I've done so far:

    1. Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11
    2. Performed a full system reset
    3. Replaced the RAM
    4. Ran sfc /scannow and DISM commands to repair system files
    5. update BIOS
    System Information:

    • Operating System: Windows 11 (upgraded from Windows 10)
    • Hardware: AMD Ryzen 5 2600,Radeon RX 570, B450 DS3H . Crash Consistency: Frequent BSODs with the error code CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF)
    • Critical Process: csrss.exe
    Despite these efforts, I continue to experience BSOD crashes. I've analyzed some of the memory dump files, which consistently point to the critical process csrss.exe and the error code CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF).

    Here are link to a few of the minidump files for further analysis:

    Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

  4. Frequent BSOD: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    BSOD error Critical_process_died - repeatedly and frequently

    The error mentioned was critical_process_died. Didn't mention a driver.

    I had another KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
    what failed: dxgmms2.sys

    I'll try and get through some more of the scans / checks you suggested today.
