  1. Windows 11 - frequent BSOD crashes - error: critical_process_died


    Hello everyone, this is my first time posting so please let me know if I missed anything important. For the past few months my Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model has been experiencing increasingly frequent BSOD crashes after many years of no issues whatsoever. They happen seemingly randomly, but most noticeably after I boot up. The crashes happen when the computer is idle, or I’m just using Chrome, and also when gaming and doing heavy video editing. As far as I can remember, the crashes did not start after I made any huge changes to the machine or updates to the OS. The crashes just came out of the

  2. Frequent BSOD: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF) Error on Windows 10 and Windows 11

    Hello Microsoft Community,

    I've been encountering persistent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crashes for the past two months. These issues started on Windows 10 and have continued even after upgrading to Windows 11. I’ve tried multiple solutions, but the problem persists. Here's a summary of what I've done so far:

    1. Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11
    2. Performed a full system reset
    3. Replaced the RAM
    4. Ran sfc /scannow and DISM commands to repair system files
    5. update BIOS
    System Information:

    • Operating System: Windows 11 (upgraded from Windows 10)
    • Hardware: AMD Ryzen 5 2600,Radeon RX 570, B450 DS3H . Crash Consistency: Frequent BSODs with the error code CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF)
    • Critical Process: csrss.exe
    Despite these efforts, I continue to experience BSOD crashes. I've analyzed some of the memory dump files, which consistently point to the critical process csrss.exe and the error code CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF).

    Here are link to a few of the minidump files for further analysis:

    Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    BSOD Error: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    My laptop experienced a BSOD with an analysis by "Who Crashed" as follows-

    On Sat 11/10/2018 2:08:03 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported

    crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP

    This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrpamp.exe (nt!PsSetLegoNotifyRoutine+0x46C)

    Bugcheck code: 0xEF (0xFFFFFFFFA8C97440, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)

    Error: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    Bug check description: This indicates that a critical system process died.

    There is a possibility this problem was caused by a virus or other malware.

    A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: ntkrpamp.exe .

    Google query: ntkrpamp.exe CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    Following is a link to my "one drive" BSOD folder with memory.dmp and other files for evaluation:

    Microsoft OneDrive

    Please advise resolution for the said BSOD. Thanx!

    BSOD error Critical_process_died - repeatedly and frequently

    The error mentioned was critical_process_died. Didn't mention a driver.

    I had another KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
    what failed: dxgmms2.sys

    I'll try and get through some more of the scans / checks you suggested today.
