Windows 10: Consistent blue screens, CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED - help figuring out what's wrong?

Hello, Microsoft Community!I'm having trouble after a drive died recently; I had to reinstall windows on a backup hard drive, and for some reason it blue screened during the windows install process. Thankfully I was able to pickup where I left off, but it's been a frustrating road getting my computer up and running again.Since then, I've experienced consistent CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED blue screen errors, and recently even tried to play a game - Final Fantasy XIV - which caused my computer to blue screen so hard that the blue screen then triggered another blue screen, this time just showing a hex

Blue screen ntdll.sys CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

Hi Victor,

The CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED bug check has a value of 0x000000EF. This indicates that a critical system process died.
The ntoskrnl.exe may possibly occur due to the default value in the
Boot Loader section of the Boot.ini file which is missing or invalid. BSOD errors occur mostly due to incompatible, faulty or corrupted device drivers installed on the computer. To better assist you, I'd like to know any changes
you've made. What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, I suggest that you follow the steps in this article on how to troubleshoot blue
screen errors. You can choose when did you get the error and perform the instructions.
