BSOD Critical process failed

[Spartan_117]

Hi,

 

I have recently built a Gaming PC, the specs are as follows:

Ryzen  7 2700x 
Hyper x 8gb X2 ddr 4 ram rgb
Arous x470 gigabyte gaming ultra motherboard
Corsair ax850w gold standard psu
Cooler master mb 500 case
Rtx 2070 super graphic card
2 cooler master airflow fans.

 

With this configuration, I gamed great for a while with the AAA titles like Halo MCC, Doom etc, but my PC used to shut off with the LED still on and yet I had turn off the power supply and turn it back on and restart the system.

This happened for a while.  Now when ever I game or even start up my system I get the BSOD error, Critical process failed. 

 

Much needed help would be appreciated in this quarentine lockdown.

Critical process died, probably means that it ran out of memory and closed something critical for some reason.

 

If you can get into safemode/safeboot , and look at the event viewer, you may be able to pin it down. Or you can download bluescreenview and get a screenshot of that so we can see what it blames.

 

But usually a BSOD that indicates a software issue, almost certainly points to a RAM or a CPU issue.

 

Since you say it was having problems shutting down, that indicates that a driver might not be installed for something on the motherboard, or you might have to look into the bios to see what the power management settings are, because if it's set to not do S3 suspend (suspend to RAM ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/system-sleeping-states ), then it might be doing S2 or S1, and that means you're basically doing an unsafe shutdown if you pull the power.

Kisai, thank you for your response. I will post the log as requested. 

However, does that mean my Ram is screwed ?? Or the ram slots are screwed ? What would happen if I simply change my 10 year old power supply ?

It might not mean the ram is screwed, just that something like the timings might not work for that CPU.

 

I once had a CPU and motherboard configuration that didn't work with a specific set of memory modules, but changing the cpu fixed it.

What about the power supply, cos it's a Corsair AX850w psu. It's about 8-9 years old now. Because after building my new pc it worked fine for a while but the PC used to keep shutting down.

Don't try to find easiest solution. Of course checking ram and psu may be worth consideration, but also check what @Kisai said. Check also all connections (cables), is ram installed properly, is virtual memory settings good (if you was using this system on old computer with manual virtual memory configuration, then revert it to auto). Basically everything, because you build your computer by yourself. So check again everything. Put just single ram stick and check with half of memory. Usual stuff.

A power supply is rarely the problem unless it's been damaged, and a damaged power supply will usually have problems starting up, not shutting down. I've seen bad PSU's a few times, and they usually go bad after the electric utility has a widespread power outage or a car runs into a nearby utility pole.

Hi Sorry for the delay. Attached is my Log during BSOD - CPD. i Have tried reinstalling windows 10 and checked ram sticks one by one. Its the same error.

During startup i get a message "No bootable device found" and i have to hit "Enter" on the keyboard and then boots into windows. Then suddenly BSOD - CPD.
