Windows 10: BSOD on restart

I started getting a BSOD with the CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED stop code after updating my computer to Windows 11, Version 23H2.The computer is usable but blue screens when I Boot it up and it hasnt been in use for a few hours.I have checked for corrupted system files, a few were identified, but resolution did not fix the issue. Scanned the hard drive, ran Memory Diagnostics, uninstalled recently installed software, and rolled back some drivers that were updated around the same time.The only thing that temporarily seemed to help was uninstalling the latest Windows update.

Random restarts

when you start the computer up press F8 repeatedly until you get a list of how to start windows, choose do not automatically restart on system failure. if your getting bsod's list what your getting here so we can further help you. IF the system is not getting bsod's and still restarting as you say then i would look into getting a line conditioner for your computer as you might be having power issues.

This is most likely due to an installation/upgrade error with ATI driver's. I suggest doing DriveSweeper and the following:

• Drivesweeper all drivers & in Safe Mode
• Unistall all drivers that aren't used in DriveSweeper (CCC Profiler Updates, MSI AfterBurner, anything related to ATI that use's it's drivers.)
• After you do this, the first thing you need to do is go into Device Manager and Unistall your ATI Drivers

Once your done, restart the PC and then try installing the latest drivers.


I had several issues with this in the past, but I overcame it with logical reasoning and whenever I have a driver issue, I just use these steps and I always overcome the problem.

Best of luck! *Toast :toast:

Meanwhile, as requested in the BSOD thread (sorry, I misunderstood and posted there by mistake), I've attached both ZIP files.

One step I did try right away was to answer your question about whether my BIOS is up-to-date. I had no success at the AMI site but did get some info from this commercial site:
