Title: BSOD Critical_Process_died
Post by: mcterray on July 28, 2018, 12:51:05 PM: Hey guys,

I bought this pc and used it for 2 years with no problems. Just recently in the past month, I've been having frequent blue screens. The first blue screen I encountered was WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. Soon after, I did the a reformat that is implemented into Windows 10 which removed all files from my SSD(holds windows installation). After I reformatted, I've been getting a new BSOD: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. This BSOD has been occurring real often especially while I'm playing Fortnite Save the World. I am not sure if it is because of my SSD or my graphics card or neither. I've run Crystal Disk Info and it said my SSD is still at 93% health. I tried stress testing my GFX card and it ran fine. I am currently at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.

A 93% good for any storage device is not good 'nuff.
Good quality 78 RPM vinyl records do that good.

Install Windows on a standard HDD an see what you get.

I recently had a chance to screenshot one of the CMD prompts that randomly popped up, and I will also attach a picture of my CrystalDiskInfo readings.

edit: sorry I thought it was at 93% it is actually at 92%

Maybe I shooed try an illustration. If you suspect your submarine will sink, you don't put it in the ocean. You put it in a place where you can safely test it for leaks.

Do you see what I mean.?
