BSOD about 10-15 minutes from startup (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED)  

Updated my Intel drivers. One thing I noticed though, it crashes within 1-2 minutes of opening task manager.
On the main tab of task manager, where it shows the CPU, RAM etc usage for every running app, CPU usage is stuck at 100%, and most of the icons refuse to load, and sorting by CPU usage shows every app at 0%. However, going to the Resources tab shows the correct CPU usage which is 5-10%. Resource manager shows the correct CPU usage for every app. What process or DLL does task manager use to get the info on running apps? There could be a problem in that too.

I am now not opening task manager to see if it still crashes.
EDIT: My PC has now been running for more than 30 minutes without a crash.

After 35 minutes, it did crash but it took much longer than it usually does. Not opening task manager increases the time before the BSOD.

I have found one thing that definitely triggers a BSOD, which is opening the "Services" tab in task manager. It causes task manager to hang and then BSODs with the same "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED" error code.
