    Critical Process Died


    I recently did a clean install of 10130 due to the 10240 build not working properly. Everything is running fine again but I am getting frequent BSODs with the "Critical Process Died" label. Does anyone know a method to find what the root cause of this is? It is becoming frustrating as I have no idea when it will occur and can interrupt me unexpectedly.

    Any help is appreciated!

    :)

    Event Viewer, maybe?

    Your experience is unusual, I imagine. 10130 was highly crash prone for me. 10240 is nearly perfect. Some writers (professionals, but not MS employees) have gone so far as to claim that 10240 is the release version.

    I'm not running an AMD graphics card, but I have the impression that Win 10 drivers for them have been an issue. (That's not to demean AMD. I've used their cards over the years, beginning when ATI was a separate company.) I suggest finding threads here that discuss that.

    AMD recently updated their driver for Win10 and now actually have a specific download designated for it. Of course it could still be messed but I hope it isn't the main cause as this has not always been the case with the previous builds. Once the full release comes around and MS makes the 10240 .ISO available for download I may do another clean install.

    Here is the event viewer - perhaps you can instruct me what exactly I should be looking for? https://i.imgur.com/FCC11qY.png

    Thanks for this - I've updated it!

    I've changed my settings so that it automatically does the Minidumps - is that the best method as opposed to what it was already set to with Automatic memory dump?

    So because I didn't have this set up there's not much to do until another BSOD with a minidump now?

    Minidumps will be collected by the DM Log Collector, others are too large.

    Yeah unfortunately you'll have to wait for another BSOD to grab the dump.

    Well we had another crash - where do I find the minidump?
