  1. Keep getting a "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" BSOD error every time I boot up my laptop. Help!


    Hi there. I have a problem with my computer that causes a "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" BSOD every time I turn on my gaming laptop. It's a Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 the one with the 305p and 12 gb of RAM. Not important I don't think and it doesn't let me do a reset. Every time I try, regardless of the options I pick, it says something like "There was a problem resetting your PC". I have no idea what caused this, as I'm certain the hardware is fine. It didn't happen until today May 20th. Can anyone help?Thanks.

    :)
     

  2. 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.

    BSOD - Critical Process Died

    Hi Tony,

    The blue screen error with a stop code 'Critical Process Died' that you encountered can be caused by a recent update, device drivers that got corrupted or system files that got corrupted. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • What changes were made or what updates were installed prior to the issue occurring?
    • Did you mean to say that you ran your device in safe mode when you said that you booted the device with only Microsoft Processes running?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your device?

    As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you follow the steps on this
    link
    to run the driver verifier. Driver verifier is an inbuilt tool in the Windows operating system, which helps you to test the drivers which may be corrupted. These corrupted drivers may contribute as to why you're getting a "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD)
    or stop errors.

    We look forward to your response to our queries.
