troubleshooting Computer not booting

[Lethal_Lemon]

So my computer was working fine for a number of days. I starting playing GTA V and then it blacked out and my computer stopped working. And now it keeps giving me a blue screens saying Critical process died and idk what's going on.

can you get into bios or safe mode? are any of your components not turning on (ie fans, gpu, etc)? are there any flashing lights on your motherboard?

I've been seeing a lot of this Critical Process Died stuff popping up recently. I have a feeling Microsoft released a bad update.

 

Critical Process Died is a software issue. You can try booting into Safe Mode and stepping back to a previous update of Windows. You can also use the Repair function on your Windows install media.

I can't get into safe mode but can do anything in bios. All my component are turning on.

How would I go about installing an old version of Windows?

You don't install an earlier version of Windows. Somewhere in the land of Windows 10 control panel settings (I used to know exactly where this was in Win 7 and Win XP...then Microsoft made EVERYTHING a cluster#### to find) there is an option to roll back to a previous version...basically, to undo an update.

 

That's what you want to do. There's instructions out there, just google it.

Yes i already did that and found out it was a graphics card error, sending it back.
