    Critical Process Died Loop - Help would be appreciated.


    Hi, Desktop PC has had a few issues with BSOD over the last year or so, usually a kernel power 41 issue. Usually it occurs after a windows update and I wonder if it could be down to graphics card drivers. My graphics card is old and games only run on an old Nvidia driver so there may be an issue there but that's not the problem I have now. Basically I am only able to write this due to managing to boot to an old HDD Hard Disk. My main disk is an SDD. Yesterday morning I had received three BSOD in an hour or so so decided to do a system restore. That went ok but the start button wouldn't work so I decided to reboot,. That's where the "fun" started! Upon reboot i got a BSOD called "Critical Process Died" and the PC couldn't repair itself. Tried absolutely everything on the Troubleshoot options, even down to resetting my PC but nothing worked. Furthest I managed was I think with a command called "rstrui.exe", although I may be wrong, but whatever it was is allowed me to try a system restore as previous efforts my C drive was greyed out. However each system restore (3 points) failed with a different error, the first a registry error, so that was useless. Then one screen showed the main BIOS was corrupted but the system recovered from the backup BIOS. Tried CHKDSK etc from command prompt in the Advanced options. No bad sectors were found but at the end it stated "failed to transfer messages to the event log with status 6. It also seemed to have the drive down as Drive X rather than Drive C so not sure what is going on there. DISM Restore Health didn't work at all. I have Acronis and NAS Dlink so tried to see if I could find an image to backup from. I managed to get a shot of the drivers but it showed - Local Disk (c) which is my drive but I can't access it. Local Disk (e) which is the one I am on at the moment. Boot (xCritical Process Died Loop - Help would be appreciated. :) No idea what that is? No luck with that either! At that point I thought the motherboard had fried but this morning I tried to boot from SATA PS Samsung HD103 SJ and it took me to a Windows 8 set up. Rebooted and tried to boot from UEFI Samsung HD103SJ and that successfully booted to the desktop albeit my old one from 2015 which is when I updated my drive from HDD to SSD. I then have spent all morning doing windows updates and trying now successfully to get me on the internet and have managed to get into my Windows Live Mail which seems to have downloded every email since 2015! The main disk is now this one Local Disk C - Strangely Local Disk E is showing at 114GB of 222 GB which looking at the programs must be my normal SSD. It even shows up in device manager KINGSTON_SV300S37A240G ATA DEVICE and is listed as working properly although I am currently on the SAMSUNG_HD103SJ ATA DEVICE. So I assume if I can boot to my old Hard Drive the Motherboard is ok, leaving a fried SDD or a corrupted Windows 10 on that drive as the culprits I assume? What however can I do about it, especially ideally saving my files and documents on my SSD? I did back up my documents to a USB a couple of weeks ago but I've updated a few since then so it's not fully up to date. Without being able to boot to that SSD is there a way I can download Windows 10, place it on a USB Stick and reinstall? If that is possible however would I lose all my files? I know programs would be erased. Or is it somehow possible to use Acronis and DLINK and grab that downloaded image of my PC from three days ago although I have no idea if that is possible without being able to boot? In my head I am thinking I could boot from the USB with Windows. Do a clean install so I can boot to the drive and then once in would Volume 1 Drive Z (DLINK) still be there to then download the Acronis backup saved? My only worry is it's also Acronis 2014 so maybe a tad old! Or is it likely the SSD is the problem, therefore rendering any attempts to reboot to it futile? Apologies for such as long winded post but could really do with some help. Thanks.

    :)

    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.

    Critical Process Died Loop

    Whenever I try starting up my main computer, I'm never able to make it to the user sign in page. I always get a "Critical Process Died" error. I also can't do any repair settings because I need to sign into my administrative account, which doesn't pop up
    on the list.

    Any help?
