Windows 10: attempting to fix BSOD opened up a can of worms...

I have been attempting to fix the Blue Screen of Death on my new desktop running Windows 10 pro 64bit.


The BSOD started last week while watching a streaming video on amazon. BSOD gave the error "critical process died"

As of now, the BSOD occurs every 5 to 20 minutes after booting up my computer, which makes it very difficult to do anything. In fact, I was typing this up the first time on that computer when the BSOD happened, right before I could submit the question, so I am now forced to use my old laptop to submit this plea for help.


I have tried a lot of different recommendations from here and other site to no avail.


First of all, the advanced recovery environment screen (got to by holding shift while restarting).

None of the options in that section work. and by that I mean, I go to troubleshoot, click the "startup options" it tells me to restart, and instead of giving me a numbered list of options (so I could boot in safemode), it just restarts the computer and takes me back to the regular boot up.

If I choose command prompt from advanced recovery screen, it gives me an error and forces a restart.


If I choose "system recovery image" it restarts the computer and boots up regular windows.


If I choose system restore, it restarts and boots up regular windows


If I choose startup repair, it restarts and boots up regular windows


If I choose reset your PC, it restarts and boots up regular windows.


I have also tried using the system config to boot in safe mode (just restarts like normal)


I have run a command prompt from windows (as admin) and run the sfc/ scannow.

It say it fixed something but other it could not fix


and I have run dism in command prompt with scanhealth, checkhealth and restorehealth.

scan and check both say the drive is repairable and operation successful, but restore health has errors.



Nothing I do makes a difference because when the computer restarts, it just goes back to exactly how it was when the BSOD first happened. Even my chrome browser when opened after restart, ask to restore the same website I was on when the error first occurred...


I don't know what to do!

Please help!

There are several reasons why BSOD occur, which has different resolution. To check for any corruption or the integrity of your computer's Windows, we suggest that you perform a

• Right-click on the Command Prompt, then Run as administrator.
  
• Type chkdsk x: /r, the /r command will fix errors found on the disk.

Webcam Triggering 'Attempted Execute Of No Execute Memory' BSOD - Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY Blue Screen of Death error appears when a device driver attempts to execute a program from a non-executable area of the memory. An error in the RAM (Random Access Memory) can also cause this BSOD error.

If you are using a built-in webcam, then, update the webcam driver and check if that helps.

• Press 'Windows key + X' and choose 'Device Manager'.
• Under 'Imaging devices', right-click on the webcam driver and update the driver.

Also I suggest you to follow the steps from the below article and check if it helps.

BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD, Dump File attached


Hi Groggubus,

Welcome to the 10forums

Please remove / disable items from the startup in taskmanager
These programs could interfere with the boot process giving you trouble and increase the boot time.

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

Please follow this suggestion for the BSOD

1. Please open BitDefender and go to the modules,
2. Go to the firewall settings,
3. Uncheck 'Block port scans in the network',
4. Reboot your system <-- IMPORTANT
