    [BSOD] CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED 0x0EF - 'ntoskrnl,exe'


    Hey people.

    I was happily watching Smallville on Prime Video stoned and enjoying my night when my system suddenly crashed. So I left it to reboot, went to make a cuppa, came back up and my OCD forces me to investigate. Though my first attempt at analyzing proved effable with WinDBg Preview with it screaming about having no symbols despite my system having them and I configured it to use those symbols. So I hopped onto WinDBg. I'd like to request some help troubleshooting if possible? My system hasn't choked on a BSOD in a while so this is a bit odd. I'm certain however it isn't to do with my overclock which I'll shed some light on that shortly.

    My analysis attempt is below, if you could just give your input if I'm wrong or on what steps are needed to resolve the issue?

    I admit I don't know my way around windbg commands so please shed some light on the red stacks. I am unsure what caused the crash and would like some help determining that and resolving it.

    Thank you, and I appreciate your time and support. Whoever determines the cause and resolution will be repped.

    I suggest you download Memtest86, use the tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive (1gb is large enough) and then boot that USB drive. Memtest will start running as soon as it boots.

    If no errors are found after the four iterations of the 13 different tests then restart Memtest and do another four. Even a single bit error is a failure.

    Is there a way to figure out which module the corruption stack came from? What caused it? My research into memory corruption stack suggests not instantly jumping to the conclusion of faulty RAM.

    Is windivert a probable cause to the BSOD?

    In that case I haven't a clue. I haven't personally used pirated software in a few years. Multiple searches for WinDivert.sys/WinDivert64.sys completes with zero results so I'm unsure. I have a VPN and wireshark installed, or at least I did but haven't uninstalled it properly because a few of its files disappeared. It's the same with ccleaner and other programs, sometimes if I haven't used them in a long time they randomly disappear. O_o

    I'll continue my search for this system file.

    Moving on from that anyway, attempted a DISM scan just in case but its clean.

    Ran the official WinDivertTool removal from their github:

    I went through the new V2 collector archive to find a trace of windivert but even in that I can't find anything? Mass search on my hard disks revealed nothing either.
