Windows 10: Critical_Process_Died

Hey guys trying to pinpoint and error Ive been having. If its a hardware error Im going to brick this whole PC and ship it back to Newegg (nothing but broken parts from them for two weeks now)

Was playing NMS when all of a sudden the screen became broken and everything just crashed, this was followed by a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED bluescreen error. For some reason restore points were all disabled so had to so a hard reset deleting everything from my PC to begin with. That at least let me boot windows, ok good stuff. Downloaded No Mans Sky to test it out and the moment I try to get into a game it does the same thing followed by a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error.

Did do a SFM scan and it mentioned corrupt files but was able to repair them. (Cant access logs because I had to do another reset) However I can pinpoint this becoming wonky after merging a microsoft account with my computer to DL Halo Wars 2. Ever since then the damn thing has been wonky and I cant use my old credentials anymore, keeps demanding a microsoft account with a PIN.

This whole process has been annoying, my old graphics card died on me, my HDD was DOA, been working off a 500 g SSD, and now Im looking at potentially another component fried/corrupting windows.

Im not computer savy but any advice is helpful. I dont have an idea of what to do.

Critical_process_died at startup


Several times since Windows 10 has been updated (see attached file) I have received a "Critical_process_died" notification. Sometimes at startup & at least one time during normal browsing. Have talked with a local computer shop about various problems & he suggested a clean install. Attached is the dump file per your instructions.
Appreciate any suggestions.
