    BSOD loop due to critical_process_died


    I have newly built PC with Windows 11 pro installed on it. From time to time, the system enters in a loop of BSOD due to, it says, a critical_process_died error. The error screen stays only for a split second, so I'm not sure if there's some more important information. The PC randomly crashes when I'm using it, then it continues crashing while it's starting up, sometimes after the windows menu comes up, sometimes before that. It will do that again and again until, if I'm lucky, it finally boots and I can use the system. Or not, as I've already re-installed the system twice, tired of waiting

    :)

    Hi, recently over the past few weeks I've been experiencing BSOD due to the following error identified by whocrashed:

    crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\081820-10859-01.dmp

    The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
