    Computer BSOD while trying to update
    « on: March 16, 2018, 05:03:16 AM »
    Ah hello, I've been having a recurring problem with my computer. From what I can tell, each time my computer wants to update (it's windows 10) it fails to update and crashes with a BSOD that has the stop error "Critical Process Died" (I think, I'm not sure exactly what it said). And when I restart my computer says windows failed to update and is undoing the changes and then starts up as normal. So while my computer is fine now... I think it'll keep happening each time it tries to update and I fairly certain I want my computer to update.

    What is make/model of computer and did it initially comes with Windows 10 or did you upgrade it to 10 or perform a clean install of 10 yourself?

      It's a custom gaming built PC I had payed to be built for me. So I don't think it has a make and model. But I have been using it for well over a year now and the only problem I had with it was the fans in it died and I had to replace them because it was overheating.... that was a long while ago and this isn't acting the same way as it when it was over heating.

      As for the Windows 10 thing, it's always had it.

      It can depend on what the update is trying to do. Your hardware may not mesh with whatever update Windows in trying to implement. I always otp to download the updates only but I want Windows to allow me to decide what updates to install. Not all updates are needed,windows security updates sure, but MS does not guarantee hardware compatibility.
