Windows 10: Random freezing and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED even after resetting Windows

I'm running Windows version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1081). Recently, I tried reinstalling Windows from a USB drive to see if that'd fix the occasional crashes I was getting. It didn't. My computer will usually boot up fine, but after several minutes of use it'll suddenly slow down, freeze, and BSOD. Everytime the same error message is given (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED). Sometimes, when my laptop restarts following one of these BSODs, it'll either fail to boot or won't boot correctly. I've tried doing a sfc /scannow, and I think it helped? But I need to do more testing to confirm this. I've configured my system to create a mini dump after crashing but none are created (there's no minidump folder in my Windows folder). Because reinstalling Windows didn't fix it, I suspect it's an issue with one of my SSDs or RAM modules. But because some of the screws holding my laptop together are stripped, I'll have to take it to a shop if I want to replace or remove anything inside. I want to see if something else could be causing this before I pay for that. It should be noted that I installed my own SSD and RAM shortly after I got this laptop a year ago, and I haven't done this before, so it's possible I messed something up somehow. I really want to fix this because I use this laptop for schoolwork and don't want to lose my work. Thank you. Edit: the sfc /scannow didn't seem to fix it, my laptop just crashed a few minutes ago.

Random freezes or shut downs

Hrrmmmm... but wouldnt formatting and reinstalling windows fix the issue since the virus/trojan/spyware isnt on the system any longer?

 

Random freezes or shut downs

Completely random freezing/shutdowns on a system with no recent hardware changes, and hard drive, memory, and PSU fine, usually means a software issue (file corruption or malicious software). I suggest following DavidV's recommendations.
