Windows 10: Critical_process_died

system bios version: 681AV Version F.40
It dates from 31/01/'13

 

Are above settings of the BIOS the default settings?
Unfortunately I can't find BIOS updates, I can't even find anything of the BIOS on the update support page of your laptop.

This indicates a hardware problem, but it could also be caused by wrong settings in the BIOS.
Please try some hardware diagnostics tests you can do from Hardware Diagnostics

 

Those are the default settings, except for vtx (which is disabled by default). I tried defaulting the bios, but it doesn't change anything. in-bios diagnostics doesn't find any problems either.

 

Please run chkdsk again using following command
Code: chkdsk C: /r /x[/quote] /r = Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. The disk must be locked. /r includes the functionality of /f, with the additional analysis of physical disk errors.

/x = Forces the volume to dismount first, if necessary. All open handles to the drive are invalidated. /x also includes the functionality of /f.

 

[/quote] Found no problems.

 

Do you know what programs are installed?

Do you have Windows Pre Environment bootable media?
Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums

 

l made a mistake here, the version seems to be 68IAV version F.40, mistook the I for a 1.

I know what software was on the pc, and how to get it back. I wouldn't want to do a full wipe and clean install though since I don't have a key of my windows licence.

I have a win10 bootable usb drive, don't know if that is the same?

 

Windows 10 licenses are registered on the hardware, you can do as many wipes and clean installs as you want on the same hardware without license problems. But the question was more for possible software interfering with the boot.

Depends on what is on it. A Windows Pre Environment is really necessary, I currently need more software (installed programs, services, etc.) information that is present on your system.

 

Using the win pre environment I was able to update my bios to version 61 (from April 2015) although this didn't manage to fix the problem.

So how exactly do I have to search for the software, do I just manually find it all?
