    BSOD: Cricial Process Died


    So I have an older HP machine that has been prepped for a customer and was seemingly healthy during the install and data transfer process and had no issue running PASSmark Pro without flagging any issues.

    Since handing over the PC to the customer she has had several BSODs, at times with different errors, Originally I thought one of the RAM DIMMs was faulty as the PC would not post on boot and the fans would spin up full throttle and once I had removed the RAM modules one by one I thought I'd found the culprit since removing it allowed the PC to boot normally. 24 Hours later she calls me regarding the BSODs shes been getting.

    Info:

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 v1909 fresh install 3 weeks ago
    Drive setup: Crucial MX500 250GB SSD - Brand new + 1TB Seagate HDD - Used
    All local user directories such as desktop, documents etc redirected to Seagate drive.

    So far I have tried the following:

    * Ran MemTest 86+ for 15 passes with the remaining 2x 4GB modules installed = No Errors detected
    * Ran Chkdsk /r /f /x on the boot drive = No issues found
    * Ran Chkdsk I: /r /f /x (Seagate drive) - No Issues found
    * Ran SFC /SCANNOW = No Corruption found
    * Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth = No component store corruption found
    * Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth = Ditto
    * Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth = Restore Operation completed successfully
    * Checked both drives with HD Sentinal and both show 100% Health
    * Used HD Tune and did a full error scan on both drives, no bad blocks detected.

    * Collected logs for you lovely folks *Biggrin

    I am returning the computer to the customer tomorrow so that she can further test the computer now that I've done all of the above, however I fear this is not the end of the issue as the above results seem to suggest there is no problem.

    If somebody could point me in the right direction that would be ace.

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    BSOD - Critical Process Died

    Hi Tony,

    The blue screen error with a stop code 'Critical Process Died' that you encountered can be caused by a recent update, device drivers that got corrupted or system files that got corrupted. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • What changes were made or what updates were installed prior to the issue occurring?
    • Did you mean to say that you ran your device in safe mode when you said that you booted the device with only Microsoft Processes running?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your device?

    As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you follow the steps on this
    link     to run the driver verifier. Driver verifier is an inbuilt tool in the Windows operating system, which helps you to test the drivers which may be corrupted. These corrupted drivers may contribute as to why you're getting a "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD)
    or stop errors.

    We look forward to your response to our queries.

    BSOD: Cricial Process Died

    Critical process died BSoD loop

    My alienware 17 R3 laptop apparently forced restart to update windows 10 earlier in the day and after the update finished it literally won't start up and is now stuck in Critical process died BSoD loop without me being able to enter safe mode.

    Any attempt to entering safe mode results in another Critical process died blue screen and I've tried EVERYTHING that the net lists as a solution.

    Tried going back to previous version of windows and it list an error, tried restoring from a previous point and it doesn't show up at all. Hell I tried a complete reset of the laptop and it gave me an error and said it cannot complete the process for god
    knows what reason.

    This happened once on my older alienware 17 r3 and I had to get a replacement entirely due to the vendors not being able to decipher the root cause of the problem but one thing is for damn sure, everytime a windows 10 update happens my laptop potentially
    gets killed off...

    Seriously, any suggestions? This is pretty frigging infuriating.

    Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Windows update, recovery, & backup
