    BSOD critical process died


    Dear all,
    Thank you for reading this. Recently I've been getting a lot of BSOD's. To be more specific the "critical_process_died" one stuck at 0% so no dump file.
    I did my fair amount of searching on the internet and i tried just about everything and still can't seem to fix the problem.
    I have 2 hard drives on my laptop, an HDD one which i use purely to store stuff and an SSD one on which I have windows installed.

    So here what i tried so far:
    1- I made sure all drivers on my laptop are up to date.
    2- I scanned my laptop multiple times but no virusess, no malware no anything, I have did a clean install of the OS and still getting the BSOD.
    3- I ran both sfc commands and the DISM ones as well.
    4- i ran the components test using the hp hardware diagnosis, the extensive one that tests all the components and everything passed (i would like to note that when i try to run the hard drive DST check individually on my SSD drive it says NOT AVAILABLE).

    The thing is this's not the only problem I have, sometimes when i turn on my laptop it turns off then on again. Other times i get the
    "boot device not found" and i have to restart my laptop several times to get pass this message. And other times the screen stays black for a lil bit longer than usual with the caps button blinking before i get the startup Omen logo on my screen.

    What I noticed as well is that after a gaming session or during one the BSOD's frequency becomes intense, like i get one i restart and right after windows is up the screen freezes and i get another BSOD.
    And after like an hour or so, i stop getting them.
    I get the BSOD even when my laptop is not connected to any device, even the AC adapter.


    Please help me solve this problem.
    Thank you.

    Laptop: HP Omen 15-Ax012nf
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-Bit) Version 1903.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sorry, I will run the V2 tool on my laptop as soon as I get home from work.
    I'm really sorry again.
    Thank you for your understanding.

    The HP support assistant may display the warranty status.
    Also you may be able to check by entering the HP product or serial numbers:
    https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    See the link with the newest version of HP hardware diagnostics UEFI in post #6.

    The software should display extensive testing with the option to run loop until failure.
    It will run indefinitely if there is no failure.
    If it has made at least two loops then click esc and run component tests as needed.
    (the RAM and drive testing can take significant time so run overnight)

    Find a flash drive that you can format (> or = 8 GB)

    Create a bootable Windows 10 iso:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
    Download Windows 10 ISO File
    Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10


    Read these links on windows driver verifier (do not use the tool until it is communicated in the thread):

    Enable and Disable Driver Verifier in Windows 10
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-c48669e4c983



    Make sure vents / fans are cleaned so that cooling is improved.

    1) Make a new restore point:

    Create System Restore Point in Windows 10

    2) Make a free backup image using Macrium

    3) Save the backup image to another disk drive or the cloud

    4) Learn the reset and bootmode commands in the TF link

    5) Start Windows driver verifier with the 3 customized test settings in the TF link

    6) For any BSOD:

    a) run the V2 log collector to collect new log files

    b) open file explorer> this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
