Windows 10: BSOD loop, stop code: critical_process_died

Computer Model: Lenova Yoga 720

Sorry I can't provide much information because I am locked out of my computer. A few days back, I attempted to do a clean installation of Windows 10 on my laptop through a system reset. The system reset failed and it keeps taking me through this BSOD loop everytime I attempt to restart my computer, reset it, or shut it down and turn it back on. The stop code is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. I've tried the safe mode boot already. I'm not really good with computers and i'm refraining from taking my computer to a technician. Any way I can fix this?

Thank you.

:)

 

random Freezing leads to BSOD. I give up.

Stop code is random.

like CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO, DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION..

I've got multiple BSOD and the stop code is that random.

right now after multiple debugging the issue, I hypothetically assume it's my nvme fault.

I've ordered a new nvme drive and gonna retest the system if this will works.

 

ntoskrnl.exe causing crashes and BSOD, even in safe mode

Hi,

The Driver Verifier appears to have an issue with the covefs.sys which appears to be a driver for DrivePool so you could try uninstalling DrivePool.
